Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O

A	Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.
B	The Sun isn’t a renewable resource.
C	Decomposing water results in toxic byproducts.
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is option A. Decomposing water requires high activation energy. Explanation: The decomposition of water needs a lot of electrical energy or heat input, developed from some primary energy source (fossil fuel, for example).

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of these factors make hydrogen fuel cells a better option than burning fossil fuels? Hydrogen fuel cells have a higher energy efficiency. Hydrogen fuel cells create less pollution. Burning fossil fuels relies on outdated devices and technology.
