Answer - A. It produces radioactive waste

The main reason why people are hesitant to use nuclear energy is that it produces radioactive waste. The production of electricity in nuclear power plants is one of the major sources from which radioactive wastes are generated. People are generally afraid due to concerns about the disposal of these radioactive wastes and are therefore hesitant to use nuclear energy.
