Answer 2

A. ) Coal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why has cost of coal importation increased

• Unprecedented increase in demand of electricity due to revival of economy, heavy rains in coal-mining areas last month, increase in prices of imported coal and non-building of adequate coal stocks before the onset of monsoon are the main reasons behind depletion of coal stocks at power plants, a government source said.

Why are imported coal prices increasing?

• A sharp uptick in both international and domestic coal prices due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is set to increase input prices for independent power producers and power distribution companies. Higher coal prices have also pushed up spot power tariffs on the India Energy Exchange.
