Solution
The correct option is B It is a volatile substance
Ocean thermal energy conversion power plants work on the principle of difference between the temperature of water at the surface and at depth. This temperature difference should be sufficient enough to evaporate the substance, so a volatile substance like ammonia is required to make vapours which are further used to run the turbine of the generator.
