[C] Only four

[D] All five

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation –

  • Natural Gas: Natural gas is a fossil fuel and is not considered a green fuel. Although it burns cleaner than coal or oil, it is non-renewable and the extraction process can result in significant methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
  • Nuclear Energy: While nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source, it is not classified as a green fuel because the uranium used in nuclear reactors is non-renewable.
