Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Technological improvements and reduced equipment costs have made converting solar energy directly into electricity far more cost-efficient in the last decade. However, the threshold of economic viability for solar power (that is, the price per barrel to which oil would have to rise in order for new solar power plants to be more economical than new oil-fired power plants) is unchanged at thirty-five dollars. Which of the following, if true, does most to help explain why the increased cost-efficiency of solar power has not decreased its threshold of economic viability?
(A) The cost of oil has fallen dramatically. (B) The reduction in the cost of solar-power equipment has occurred despite increased raw material costs for that equipment. (C) Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired power plants. (D) Most electricity is generated by coal-fired or nuclear, rather than oil-fired, power plants. (E) When the price of oil increases, reserves of oil not previously worth exploiting become economically viable."
Answer:
(C) Technological changes have increased the efficiency of oil-fired power plants.
Explanation:
Economic viability is able to reveal the degree of acceptance of consumers in relation to a specific product. This viability is important to understand how the product will be received in the market and how profitable or not it can be for those who produce it.
Economic viability is usually greater when the cost and benefit ratio of the product or service is favorable, however this is not always the case.
Regarding the use of solar energy, although technological changes have made the installation and equipment of this type of energy more cost-effective, these technological changes have also increased the efficiency of oil plants. As a result, the economic viability of solar energy has declined.
The following is missing for the question to be complete:
a. mere exposure
b. proximity
c. intrinsic motivation
d. proximal incentive
Answer: A. Mere exposure
Explanation: This phenomenon studied by Robert Zajonc, also known as the principle of familiarity, is in fact a psychological phenomenon where people tend to become inclined towards certain things not because they may actually like those things, but because they are familiar with them. So was Darnell, who, while he was not passing the coffee shop, did not even know that the coffee shop existed at all and was not the object of his interest, when, due to circumstances, he began to pass by it every day and began to like that coffee shop, only because he became familiar with it.
It's actually the effect of mere exposure, what we often see or hear about something we like more. Even, according to experts, if things are known to us for completely bizarre or unbearable reasons, we will tend to like them just because they are exposed to us on a daily basis.
The answer is<u> "structural plasticity".</u>
Brain plasticity, otherwise called neuroplasticity, is a term that alludes to the mind's capacity to change and adjust because of experience. At the point when individuals say that the mind has pliancy, they are not recommending that the cerebrum is like plastic. Neuro alludes to neurons, the nerve cells that are the building squares of the mind and sensory system, and pliancy alludes to the cerebrum's pliability.
There are two kinds of neuroplasticity, including:
Functional plasticity: The brain's capacity to move capacities from a harmed territory of the mind to other intact regions.
Structural plasticity: The brain's capacity to really change its physical structure because of learning.

Sexual orientation refers to someone preference that make them attracted to engage in a sexual behavior. Most people couldn't control this orientation so they may have to make some adjustment in their lives to fulfill their sexual needs</span>
The following two countries were allied DURING World War II but not AFTER the war:
C) United States, Soviet Union
These two nations (United States and the Soviet Union/Russia) were on opposing sides after World War II, leading to the Cold War between the two.
