1. Electricity is applied to the grid or other needs.
2. Waves approach land.
3. Waves encounter machines.
4. Wind blows across the ocean, creating waves.
5. Machines convert waves into electricity.
Before they break on shore, ocean waves pack immense energy. The energy of a single wave, for instance, could power an electric car for hundreds of miles. Researchers are working to harvest and convert that energy into cost-effective and reliable electricity. The steps in the process of converting wave energy to electricity are listed above. Place the steps in the correct order.

A) 1,2,3,4,5
B) 2,1,3,5,4
C) 2,3,4,5,1
D) 4,2,3,5,1
