Question

h of the following is a disadvantage of using solar energy?
a. it is abundantly available.
b. it is a renewable resource.
c. it requires good sun exposure.
d. it reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Explanation:

To determine the disadvantage of solar energy, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Abundant availability is an advantage, not a disadvantage.
• Option B: Being a renewable resource is an advantage as it is sustainable.
• Option C: Requiring good sun exposure means areas with poor sun exposure (e.g., cloudy regions, buildings with heavy shading) can't effectively use solar energy, which is a limitation (disadvantage).
• Option D: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is an environmental advantage.

Answer:

C. It requires good sun exposure.
