Solution

The correct option is C Germany
Germany has recently become the first major economy to shut down coal and nuclear power. Both the houses of the German Parliament have approved the phase-out decision. It has decided to shut down coal-fired power plants by 2038 and nuclear power by the end of 2022. The country has also proposed to spend about 40 billion euros to help the affected regions in their transition.
