• A. $71$ , chemical
• B. $97$ , solar
• C. $71$ , solar
• D. $17$ , hydro energy

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$71$ , solar

1. The ocean spans more than a third of our planet's surface. Water covers around 71 percent of the Earth's surface, and the ocean is the world's largest solar energy collector.
2. Not only does water cover more than a third of our planet's surface, but it can also absorb a lot of heat without causing a significant temperature increase.

Hence the right answer is option C.
