Answer 1

Answer:

b. option is not true .

hope this will be helpful.

Answer 2

The correct option is- b)The known reserves of fossil fuels will last for long period of time.

• The formation of fossil fuels takes millions of years and hence, their resources are limited.
• They are exhaustible sources of energy and if we do not use them judiciously, they will be exhausted soon. Hence, the reserves of fossil fuels will last for a short period of time.
• The burning of fossil fuels releases several harmful gases into the atmosphere. This causes air pollution.
• The gases released during the burning of fossil fuels contain carbon dioxide, methane etc. that are responsible for the greenhouse effect. This further causes global warming.
