Problem 18 - Entrance Test

Investing in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is crucial for the nation's long-term energy security. Fossil fuel reserves are finite and geopolitically volatile, whereas renewables offer a stable, domestically sourced alternative. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Correct: B

The argument primarily focuses on 'energy security' due to the finiteness and geopolitical volatility of fossil fuels versus the stability and domestic sourcing of renewables. Option B directly strengthens the 'geopolitically volatile' aspect of fossil fuels by highlighting dependence on unstable regions, making the call for a domestically sourced alternative more urgent and compelling for energy security. Options A and D strengthen the *feasibility* or *attractiveness* of renewables in general but less directly the specific 'energy security' aspect of the argument. Option C introduces an environmental benefit, which is not the primary focus of *this* argument's conclusion regarding energy security.
