• C. it is environmentally friendly.​
• D. it catches fire easily.​

Answer 1

The correct option is B of its easy availability and low cost.​

Correct answer - (b): of its easy availability and low cost.​
People in villages use wood as a fuel mostly because of the presence of large number of trees and the ease of accessibility.​

• Wood burns to leave behind undesirable substances, so it is not environmentally friendly. ​

• Wood is not always easy to burn and has a lower calorific value than most other fuels we use today. So, it is not an ideal fuel.​

• Wood has a high Ignition temperature. So does not easily catch fire.​
