[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, the answer is D. Using coal to generate electricity releases pollution into the atmosphere. Coal is a fossil fuel that, when burned, produces greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which contribute to climate change. Additionally, burning coal releases other harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, which can cause air pollution and have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. It is important to note that coal-fired power plants have made efforts to reduce emissions through technologies such as scrubbers and filters, but the impact on the environment remains significant compared to cleaner energy sources.
