Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural gas is flammable. A natural gas leak in a house can cause potential fires, and inhaling the gas can cause natural gas poisoning.

* Answer B: The fact that scientists have developed new ways of extracting natural gas - is an advantage, not a disadvantage.

* Answer C is wrong, because compared with some other fossil fuels, natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted -- making natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel of all.

* Answer D: the content of the statement is about the production process, not about using of natural gas.

....

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
