Answer:

A) Habeas Corpus

Explanation:

Habeas Corpus is a legal action or writ that demands that a person under arrest be brought to judgement in a court of law, to secure his release, unless there are legal reasons which justify their detention.

In many instances, the law enforcement authorities may arrest citizens and detain them for a long time without charging them. The Habeas Corpus prohibits this kind of incidence and abuse of power.

The court hears the case brought forward by the prosecution and decides whether there is a lawful basis for detaining a person. Based on the evidence the court finds, the Judge may grant the inmate release from prison or a reduction in sentence.

Here's for one of them:

Type: Nuclear

Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.

Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)

Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)

Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.
