Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

To arrange the processes in the correct order for generating electricity in a nuclear reactor, let's break down the steps involved:

1. Heat Generation: The nuclear reaction generates heat.

2. Heat Removal: This heat is removed by passing water through the reactor.

3. Steam Production: The heated water then passes through a heat exchanger to produce steam.

4. Turbine Operation: The steam drives turbines.

5. Electricity Generation: The turbines generate electricity

Therefore, the correct order is: 

ii: The heat energy released is removed by passing water through the reactor.

iv: The water then passes through some form of heat exchanger to produce steam.

i: The steam is used to drive turbines.

iii: The turbines in turn generate electricity
