A
Cheaper than
B
Costlier than
C
Equal in amount
D
They cannot be related
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear power plants are more expensive to build than thermal power plants. Nuclear power plants are more difficult to the site than thermal power plants because of the fear of nuclear accidents.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear is a zero-emission clean energy source. It generates power through fission, which is the process of splitting uranium atoms to produce energy. The heat released by fission is used to create steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity without the harmful byproducts emitted by fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the electricity is made from atoms splitting apart, it’s called nuclear energy. “Thermal” power plants convert heat into electricity using steam. At nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when atoms split apart-called fission.
