13. If we used wave energy to produce electricity, which of the following would be a positive environmental benefit?
A) We would have power to run lights on navigation buoys
B) We would reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to produce electricity and reduce pollution.
C) The wave energy devices would provide resting places for sea birds.
D) The wave devices would protect beaches from erosion.
I think its B, but I am not sure. Its one of those questions that tries to mess with you.

Lex is right thank you
I agree.
thanks
Lex is correct, ty ^U^
You're absolutely right, this is a multiple-choice question that aims to test your knowledge. To determine the positive environmental benefit of using wave energy to produce electricity, let's take a closer look at each option:
A) If we used wave energy to produce electricity, we would indeed have power to run lights on navigation buoys. However, this option does not specifically address the environmental benefit of wave energy.
B) Choosing wave energy to generate electricity would have a positive environmental benefit. By reducing the amount of fossil fuels used to produce electricity, we can help combat pollution and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. This choice aligns with the positive environmental impact of wave energy.
C) Providing resting places for sea birds is a potential ecological benefit of wave energy devices. While it is beneficial for wildlife, it may not directly address the overall environmental impact of using wave energy to produce electricity.
D) The ability of wave devices to protect beaches from erosion is another potential benefit for coastal areas. Although this can be seen as an environmental advantage, it does not directly address the question of producing electricity using wave energy.
Considering the above points, option B stands out as the most appropriate and directly related to the positive environmental benefit of using wave energy. Therefore, option B, "We would reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to produce electricity and reduce pollution," is the correct answer.
