Question

question 3 of 20 caila designs a model to test how the use of different combinations of energy resources would affect global temperatures. which of these combinations is likely to produce the lowest increase in temperature in her model? a. oil and nuclear fission b. natural gas and solar c. geothermal and coal d. wave action and wind

Explanation:

Wave action and wind are both renewable energy sources that produce little to no greenhouse - gas emissions during operation. In contrast, oil, natural gas, and coal are fossil fuels that release significant amounts of carbon dioxide when burned, contributing to global warming. Nuclear fission has a relatively low - carbon footprint but has other environmental concerns. Geothermal energy is also a low - carbon option, but when combined with coal, the overall carbon emissions increase.

Answer:

D. Wave action and wind
