Solution

The correct option is C Low sulphur content in natural gas.
Both natural gas and kersone is formed in the same way. So, natural gas is not a renewable resource. Storage of natural gas involved compressing it into a cylinder making it more expensive.
Natural gas contributes to less pollution due to the low sulphur content compared to other fuel. This is a reason why natural gas is preferred over kerosene for cooking.
