Explanation
The correct option is It requires significant investment and infrastructure development.. It requires significant investment and infrastructure development. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe how carbon capture and storage may reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power stations. This belongs to the subtopic The carbon footprint and its reduction within Carbon dioxide and methane as greenhouse gases, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from The carbon footprint and its reduction.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Carbon Capture
Students often think that carbon capture and storage completely eliminates carbon dioxide emissions from power stations.
Clarify that carbon capture and storage reduces emissions but does not eliminate them entirely; it captures a portion of CO2 for storage.
