The correct statement regarding geothermal energy is B. Geothermal refers to heat sources on the Earth’s crust. This definition correctly encompasses the broad concept of geothermal energy, which is the heat that comes from the sub-surface of the earth. It is contained in the rocks and fluids beneath the Earth's crust and can be found as far down to the Earth's hot molten rock, magma.
