Question

the burning of fossil fuels and ______ from nuclear power provide about 86% of the energy used in the world. select one: o a. oil o b. electricity o c natural gas o d. coal

Explanation:

Fossil fuels include oil, natural gas, and coal. Nuclear power provides energy through nuclear reactions, not electricity directly in this context of energy - source categorization. We are looking for a type of energy from nuclear power. Nuclear power provides energy in the form of heat which is then converted to electricity. But the main energy output from nuclear power considered here is heat. Among the options, none of the fossil - fuel options (oil, natural gas, coal) are related to the energy from nuclear power. The burning of fossil fuels and heat from nuclear power are major energy sources. But since heat is not an option, and electricity is the end - product of using nuclear power's heat to generate power, electricity is the most appropriate answer in the context of energy use in the world.

Answer:

b. electricity
