The statement that best describes electric cars or hybrid cars from the options provided is:
**They are fuel-efficient.**
Electric cars are designed to be more energy-efficient than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Hybrid cars, which combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, also improve fuel efficiency compared to standard cars.
The other statements are not accurate:
- **They produce more pollutants:** This is generally not true; electric cars produce no tailpipe emissions, and hybrids typically produce fewer pollutants than conventional vehicles.
- **They run fully on unlimited resources:** While electric cars can run on renewable energy, they do not run on "unlimited resources." Battery production and electricity generation can still have environmental impacts.
- **They burn more fossil fuels than other cars:** This is incorrect for electric cars, as they do not burn fossil fuels; hybrids may use less fossil fuel compared to standard cars, depending on driving habits and conditions.
