Question

Since the late 19th century,which resource has shown the greatest overall increase in consumption?
A) Oil
B) Coal
C) Nuclear
D) Hydro

Accepted Answer

Oil consumption has dramatically increased since the late 19th century due to the growth of transportation and industrialization. In contrast, coal consumption has decreased in some regions due to environmental concerns and the rise of alternative energy sources such as natural gas and renewables. Nuclear and hydro resources have also increased in consumption, but their total share of energy consumption is much smaller compared to oil.
