The biomass energy, hydroelectric energy, solar energy, tidal energy and wind energy are the alternative source of the energy. These are primarily used to generate the electricity.

The biomass produces due to the trees' conversion into biomass due to the sun's energy. The temperature of the atmosphere increase due to the energy of the sun. The wind energy, tidal energy, and hydroelectric energy depend on the energy of the sun. The sun is the single source of the other alternative energy source, so the option (A) is correct.

The plants, magma and fossil fuels are energy sources produces from the energy of the sun and these cannot be the source of the other Earth’s energy sources, so the option (B), option (C) and option (D) are incorrect.
