The economically friendly measure to conserve solar energy is

commercial applications sources of water conservation of natural and energy resources energy conservation and sources importance of the conservation of natural resources reduce, recycle, reuse

  1. Sugarcane plantation

  2. Energy plantation

  3. Both (A) and (B)

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. Photosynthesis in green plants harnesses the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into organic compounds and gaseous oxygen. Hence, planting green trees is an easy way to conserve solar energy.
