Which energy option can reduce dependence on fossil fuels?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Solar and wind energy

Solar radiation and wind are renewable energy flows that are naturally replenished and can generate electricity without burning coal, petroleum, or diesel during operation. Expanding these sources can diversify the energy mix and reduce demand for fossil-fuel-based generation, although manufacturing, land use, storage, transmission, and reliability still require careful planning. Option A is therefore correct. Coal and petroleum are themselves fossil fuels, so choosing them cannot reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Diesel generators also burn a petroleum product and generally increase direct emissions. The key distinction is between renewable energy flows and finite combustible fuels.
