Solution

The correct option is B fossil fuels
Excessive usage of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum produce harmful gases like carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide on burning. This leads to global warming along with environmental pollution. On the other hand, solar energy and wind energy are green energy resources and are environmental-friendly. Also, by-product of hydrogen combustion is water.
