The correct answer is: **D. They will not affect the availability of wind.**
Wind turbines harness wind energy to generate electricity, but their operation does not significantly alter the overall availability of wind as a natural resource. While individual turbines may affect local wind patterns to a small extent, the overall wind supply and wind patterns in a broader area will remain largely unchanged.
