Question

Which of the following is not a consequence of exploiting the sources of energy?

• A. Air pollution.
• B. Depletion of natural resources.
• C. Purification of atmosphere.
• D. Global warming.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Purification of atmosphere.

Exploiting any source of energy disturbs the environment in some way or the other. Choice of the source of energy depends on the cost, the efficiency of the source, and its environmental consequences. It is a fact that air pollution, depletion of natural resources, and global warming are direct consequences of the exploitation of sources of energy.

So, purification of the atmosphere is not possible by exploiting sources of energy.
