Solution

The correct option is A Wind energy
There are fast-moving winds in the Himalayas. These winds are strong enough to turn the turbines in the windmills and produce electricity. Solar energy is not so abundant as the weather is not always sunny in the Himalayas. Coal is a conventional energy source that causes pollution. Snow is not an energy source.
