d. a coal-burning power plant, in that both use steam to rotate a turbine
Power plants burning coal or natural gas and nuclear power plants all heat water in the process of generating electricity.

Answers

In both coal-burning and nuclear power plants, water is heated to create steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity. The main difference is the source of heat used to create the steam, with coal relying on burning combustible materials to create heat, and nuclear relying on fission reactions from nuclear fuel rods to create heat. In both cases, the steam drives the turbine, which is connected to a generator to produce electricity.
