Windmills are the structure that is used to produce the electricity in which the wind energy is converted into the electrical energy. These mills make use of the wind for the rotation of the wind turbines. This mill was invented by Daniel Halladay.

Complete Answer:
In the wind mill, the kinetic energy of the wind is used for the rotation of the blades of the windmill. Netherland is also called by the name Holland. In the Netherlands, the windmills have many uses in the field of agriculture, power production etc. In the field of agriculture, it is used for the purpose of pumping the water from the water resources. This helps in the process of irrigation. Windmills are also used to drain the unnecessary water from the wetlands especially in the paddy fields with the help of scoop wheels.

Most importantly, the windmills are used for the production of the electricity by the rotation of the blades with the uses of the wind energy. These windmills are used to drive the huge stationary stone which is driven over the other. The agricultural produced grains are kept in-between them and grinding takes place. Hence Netherland is known as the land of windmills.

Thus, the option (C) is the correct answer.

Note: These windmills have the highest advantage than the other types of electricity production. Even though their initial cost is high, they can be maintained at the least cost and it consumes only the renewable energy that can be used again and again without any stop like wind.
