Direct Answer
Option C: thermal
Waste heat recovery systems capture the thermal energy contained within the engine's exhaust gas. This heat is typically transferred to a boiler or heat exchanger to produce steam or drive a power turbine, converting thermal energy into useful electrical energy, thereby significantly improving the vessel's overall thermal efficiency and fuel economy.
