• A. True
• B. False
• C. Ambiguous
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The sun is the ultimate source of almost all kinds of energy on earth,
either directly or indirectly.
Directly sun gives us solar power and is perfect non-conventional energy source.
Moreover, Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are the
transformed forms of plants (and animals) which once lived on the earth
and grew capturing the energy of the sun. Biomass is a product of
photosynthesis where the sun has the major role. Hydro-electricity
depends upon the water cycle which again is dependent on solar
radiation. Similarly, wind energy, tidal power, wave power all, in some
way or other, and depend on the sun.
