Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Electricity must be produced by some method, so if there are fewer nuclear plants, there will be more plants that use fossil fuels. There will be an increase in coal mining and petroleum production. Coal mining is hazardous and will increase the number of injuries and deaths, and the increased use of oil may generate more oil spills.
