To inform policy decisions and promote sustainability is right because it directly matches Environmental issues and energy decisions: Explain how science can identify environmental problems linked to energy-resource use.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.

Misunderstanding Science's Role
Students often think that science alone can solve all environmental problems linked to energy-resource use.
Emphasize that while science can identify problems, it may not have the power to solve them without political, social, and economic support.
