Which problem may increase with excessive use of petroleum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Air pollution

Petroleum is a fossil fuel, and its extraction, transport and especially combustion can create environmental problems. Burning petrol, diesel or other petroleum products releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and other pollutants. These emissions can worsen air quality and also contribute to climate change. Option A is correct because excessive petroleum use generally means more fuel combustion and therefore greater air-pollution pressure. Groundwater recharge, soil conservation and increased forest cover are not direct benefits of petroleum consumption; they are associated with conservation or restoration practices.
