Solution
The correct option is A
Jatropha
Biofuels
are the substances which are of biological origin and can be used as
a source of energy. Jatropha has been used as a biofuel in
India. The seeds of Jatropha contain an inedible oil which can
be converted to biodiesel. The seed cake (residue left extraction of
oil from seeds) can be used as fertilizer or food for cattle. The
biodiesel of Jatropha oil emits 80% less carbon dioxide
on burning than other fuels. So, the correct answer is
'Jatropha'.
