Answer: D, Limited energy plant locations available.

Explanation: Water in these locations needs to be at least 100ºC (212ºF) for geothermal plants to operate, and so they need to be located near tectonic plates / continental boundaries, where magma often comes into contact with water.

I hope this helps!
