Answer 1

The correct option is B Develop alternative energy sources and use them.

Many of the environmental problems are caused due to the harmful effects of fossil fuels. Climate change, air pollution, oil spills, and acid rain etc. result from our dependence on fossil fuels. Apart from this extensive use of fossil fuels result in their depletion. Hence there is an immediate need to search for the alternative fuels.

Example solar energy can be utilised to produce electricity instead of coal because solar energy is abundant source of energy.
