Solution

The correct option is B

(b) of its easy availability and low cost.


Explanation for correct answer:

Option (B): of its easy availability and low cost.

In villages, people use wood as fuel because:

  • There is a scarcity of resources in villages.
  • However, wood is abundant.
  • As a result, utilising wood as a fuel source is considered affordable because it is readily available and inexpensive.

Explanation for incorrect answers:

Option (A): it is considered to be an ideal fuel.

This option is incorrect as it is not the ideal fuel as it emits greenhouse gases which are not environmental friendly.

Option (C): it is environment-friendly.

This option is incorrect, as it leads to air pollution, so is not eco-friendly.

Option (D): it catches fire easily.

This option is also incorrect because wood doesn't have a low ignition temperature so, it doesn't burn easily.

So, the correct answer is (B). villagers use wood because of its easy availability and low cost.
