    Which one of the following pairs is mismatched?

    A)  fossil fuel burning - release of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  nuclear power - radioactive wastes

    C)  solar energy - greenhouse effect

    D)  biomass burning - release of \[C{{O}_{2}}\].

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Due to heavy industrialization and transportation (modernization), concentration is increasing day by day in the atmosphere. \[C{{O}_{2}}\]has capacity for absorbing heat radiations and thus increases temperature. This increase in global temperature (global warming) is mainly due to \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration is called greenhouse effect. Complete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass releases carbon dioxide. Nuclear power plants releases radioactive wastes.
