Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Wind is free of cost.
B Wind is a renewable resource.
C Wind energy is a clean source of energy.

Wind is completely free of cost. Hence, harnessing wind energy only requires installation of wind farms and the cost associated with it. Wind is also a renewable resource and a clean source of energy. It might be due to these reasons that the country's decision makers were optimistic about the future prospects of wind energy.
