Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Nuclear power does not produce air pollution as other energy sources do.

The statement that best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy is "Nuclear power does not produce air pollution as other energy sources do."

For many industries, nuclear power had been a better option because it is cleaner and more efficient to produce the steam required to make the turbines work and produce electricity. The disadvantage is that nuclear plants need uranium -highly risky and pollutant in the case of an accident- to produce electricity.
