Alternator is basically dynamo working due to force of exhaust gases which charges battery, it is use of exhaust gases inside supercharger.

No actually the alternator used to recharge the battery and supply the electricity.

Battery is used to start the engine. Once the engine starts, Alternator takes charge of powering the whole electrical system. One of the functions is charging battery. Hence I would say the correct answer is to "supply electric power" I. E) [A] in the answer sheet.

Basically alternature convert mechanical energy in AC power, then it will be use in various form like battery charging, light, horn etc & dynamometer use for converting mechanical power in DC Energy.

Basically alternator use for convert mechanical energy to electrical energy but in automobile function it use only for continuously recharge the battery.

@Naveen thakre is right. i.e.. When engine is off battery supplies electricity for lights, horn, etc and also to crank the engine. After engine starts the alternator recharges the battery and supplies power for the electrical load.

When vehicle is in static position, using the electric devices absorb much current. So we say the alternator is meant to convert mechanical energy to electric energy in other to recharge the battery when the engine is start.

When engine starts the engine covert mechanical energy to electrical energy and storage the power in the battery. And other time the power of the battery distribute the electricity in the engine starts.
