Solution

The correct option is B of its low cost and easy availability
Wood is a cheap fuel. It is easily available in villages due to the presence of forests nearby. Therefore, villagers prefer to use wood as a domestic fuel for cooking. It is not an eco-friendly fuel as it gives out lot of smoke and pollutes the environment. It does not catch fire easily as it does not have a low ignition temperature. Hence wood is not considered as an ideal fuel.
