Explanation / Answer

1. D. It's heavy rainfall in temperature regions. Because the it may have more probability to meet with another front to create precipitation.

Nuclear is nearly free energy, having no co2 emmision. Whereas plastic melting and moulding creates co2 ( option f)

3.all of the above are valid.

4. Except a and b options, all are true and valid.
