Answer 1

Answer:

A.  Nuclear reactors increase thermal pollution

Explanation:

From the analogy provided in this context, we can vividly see that the author is suggesting that the use of nuclear energy causes thermal pollution.

• Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source as identified in the text.
• Since a huge amount of heat energy is generated and they are not all used up, they are released into the ecosystem.
• The earth is usually depicted as heat reservoir.
• Increased release of heat to the environment will cause thermal pollution.
• This increases the ambient temperature of water and degrades it.
