Answer : 3. "Wind"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Wind Explanation: The energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Overall, they release very few chemicals, like carbon dioxide, that can harm the environment. Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our lifetime. Fossil fuels also contribute greatly to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when they are burned.

Answer : 4. "Both A & B"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Both A & B Explanation: The capacity of a water heater is measured in Gallons or Liters. In the USA, it is measured in Gallons and in India, we measure it in Liters. Hence, if the capacity of the water heater is 15 gallons or 15 liters, then it says that it can hold 15 gallons or 15 liters of water.

Answer : 3. "Hydrogen"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Hydrogen Explanation: The name given to the bond between water molecules is a hydrogen bond. These bonds occur between the slightly negative oxygen of one water molecule and the slightly positive hydrogen of another water molecule. Hydrogen bonding gives water special physical properties.   The differences in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen lead to an unequal sharing of electrons. Electronegativity measures how strongly an atom attracts electrons. Oxygen, with its higher electronegativity, pulls on the shared electrons more, giving the oxygen atom a partial net negative charge. The shared electrons spend less time with the hydrogen atoms; therefore, the hydrogen regions of water have partial positive charges.
