during the energy crisis of the 1970s, california ...

• increased efforts to develop alternative energy.
• made nuclear power a high priority.
• refused to allow offshore drilling.
• shifted to hydroelectricity as its main power source.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: During the 1970s energy crisis, California (and the US) did increase efforts for alternative energy (like solar, wind) to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
• Option 2: Nuclear power wasn't a new high priority in response to the 1970s crisis in California; public sentiment and events (like Three - Mile Island later) made it less favorable.
• Option 3: Offshore drilling refusal is more related to environmental concerns over time, not a direct 1970s energy crisis response.
• Option 4: Hydroelectricity was already a power source, and California didn't shift to it as main due to the 1970s crisis.

Answer:

A. increased efforts to develop alternative energy.
