maya recommended fossil fuels because they are always reliable.
clear my selection

Explanation:

The passage states Maya compared cost, environmental impact, and reliability and recommended solar power as a balanced choice. The first option only mentions cost. The second option says she ignored other factors which is false. The fourth option is about fossil fuels which is not in line with the passage. The third option correctly reflects the comparison of multiple factors (cost, environmental impact, reliability) and the recommendation of solar power as a balanced choice.

Answer:

Maya compared energy sources on cost, environmental impact, and reliability, and recommended solar power as a balanced choice.
