A steam turbine is a device in which high-pressure steam enters the turbine and causes blades to spin. The spinning blades have mechanical energy. Which best describes what happens in this system?

A
The turbine destroys some of the thermal energy in the steam, which generates work and turns the blades.
B
The turbine absorbs heat, which creates kinetic energy in the system and produces work to turn the blades.
C
Some of the heat used to make the steam is transformed into work as the steam pushes against the blades to make them turn.
D
The turbine generates heat from the steam, and some of the heat creates work and turns the blades.
