D.nuclear energy

Answer 1

The correct response is Option C: Solar energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association would likely support the use of solar energy from the options provided because it is the only sustainable form of the options provided because it is renewable. Petroleum and coal are fossil fuels and they are among the traditional sources of energy since the industrial revolution and the invention of modern transportation, but the world deposits of these resources are finite. They also create more byproducts like smoke and pollution than renewable sources, and these byproducts from fossil fuels are harmful to the environment in their own right. Nuclear energy also creates dangerous byproducts that are hard to treat and dispose of.
