Question

which is the most likely reason that using energy generated from wind is better for air quality than burning fossil fuels? the equipment for harnessing wind is inexpensive wind produces less pollution than fossil fuels energy from wind power is easy to store wind is more efficient than fossil fuels

Explanation:

The question is about air quality. Wind energy is a clean, renewable source. Fossil fuels release pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter when burned. Wind energy generation doesn't involve combustion, so it emits fewer pollutants that degrade air quality. The cost of equipment (A) is about economics, not air quality. Energy storage (C) is a technical challenge (wind energy is hard to store) and not related to air quality. Efficiency (D) is about energy conversion rates, not air - quality impact. So, the key factor for better air quality is lower pollution from wind compared to fossil fuels.

Answer:

B. wind produces less pollution than fossil fuels
