Answer is: A. Nuclear power releases less greenhouse gases than other forms of power.

Nuclear energy produces little air pollution.

Nuclear energy is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom.

It does not pollute the atmosphere or emitting the carbon emissions that cause global warming like other source of energy production.

Global warming is rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system.

Most often greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. They come from burning multiple substances: coal, petroleum, natural gas.
