Alisson Olsen · Answer 1

C) Wind turbines provide a clean energy source.

Explanation:

Oil rigs are all over the place. They release oil into and around the ocean, which is hard to clean up. Oil can kill marine life and decrease population of birds, animals, etc.

On the other hand, wind turbines do the opposite.

Wind turbines use the air to gain electricity, and they distribute the energy to the sources that they are powering. They do not hurt marine life.

All in all, C is the correct answer.
