Question

Wastes from the agro-based industries are used to produce biogas in

• A. Solar cell panels
• B. Nuclear plants
• C. Hydropower plants
• D. Biogas plants

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Biogas plants

Explanation of the Correct Option-

1. Biogas is a mixture of gases that are produced from organic matter during the anaerobic degradation by certain bacteria.
2. Biogas formation occurs in biogas plants.
3. These plants consist of a system that provides anaerobic conditions (oxygen-free) to the bacteria to convert the agro-based waste into biogas.

Explanation of the In Correct Options

Option (A)

1. When many solar cells are aligned together it is known as a solar panel. It is used for the conversion of solar energy coming directly from the sun into electricity.

Option (B)

1. The energy (heat) released in the process of nuclear fission is used to generate electricity. This is done in a system called nuclear plants.

Option (C)

1. A hydropower plant is a system that uses water to generate electricity.

Thus, wastes from the agro-based industries are used to produce biogas in Biogas plants.

Hence, the correct option is D.
