Solution

The correct option is B

CNG


The use of diesel and petrol as fuels in automobiles is being replaced by CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) because CNG produces the harmful products in very small amounts. CNG is a cleaner fuel. It also has a higher calorific value which makes it a perfect alternative.
Nuclear, geothermal and tidal energy is used in the generation of electricity or power.
