The correct option is D

Nuclear Energy


D: Nuclear energy

  1. The energy that is required for the fusion of two nuclei is derived from the fission of the nuclei.
  2. Ultimately the Sun's energy is not used.

A: Wind energy

Wind energy is generated by uneven heating of the Earth's surface and this heating is caused by the Sun's energy.

B: Biomass

Biomass is produced through green plants that use the Sun's energy for photosynthesis.

C: Fossil fuels

Fossil fuels were formed from the decomposition of prehistoric plants and animals, and these plants and animals used solar energy to survive.

Thus, Nuclear energy is not ultimately derived from Sun's energy.
