Question

Which one of the following pairs is mismatched ?

• A. Biomass burning — release of CO2
• B. Fossil fuel burning — release of CO2
• C. Nuclear power — radioactive wastes
• D. Solar energy — green house effect

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Solar energy — green house effect

Answer 2

Solar energy itself does not cause the greenhouse effect or the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2). Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of energy that harnesses the sun's radiation for electricity or heat production without emitting greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect is primarily associated with the accumulation of certain gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2, which trap heat and lead to global warming.

So, the correct option is (D): Solar energy — green house effect
