Question

Which of the following strategies cannot be adopted to conserve and preserve the environment?

• A. Using multi-purpose irrigation projects
• B. Switching to electric vehicles
• C. Using coal to generate electricity for electric vehicles
• D. Reusing and recycling wastewater

Answer 1

The correct option is C Using coal to generate electricity for electric vehicles

Multi-purpose irrigation projects are used for irrigation, production of electricity, flood management, and transportation. Non-conventional energy resources like electric vehicles can also be used. But using coal, a non-renewable energy source, causes environmental pollution. Thus, the use of coal should be minimised and phased out to preserve the environment.
