Question 71

An island in Japan boasts of numerous dairy farms that own nearly one million cows, and supplies 70% of the milk sold in the country. These dairy farms have now begun to use cow manure to produce hydrogen. The methane from cow manure mingles with steam in a high-temperature environment to produce hydrogen, which is used to electrify the local zoo. __________________________.

The passage talks about how a Japanese island uses cow manure from its farms to produce hydrogen, which powers the local zoo. The blank needs a concluding statement that summarises the significance of this innovative and sustainable method for energy production. 

Option A suggests a recommendation for India, which is unrelated to the paragraph’s focus. Option B is vague and doesn’t clearly convey the energy context. Option C, however, appropriately concludes the paragraph with a positive, relevant statement about sustainability and technology. Option D misrepresents the information by implying Japan uses technology specifically to help animals, which isn’t the main point. 

So the correct answer is option C.
