Based on Anna's criteria for her new energy system, the best option would be:
**B. solar panels**
Here's why:
- **Renewable source:** Solar panels use sunlight, which is a renewable energy source.
- **Not too loud:** Solar panels operate silently, making them a good choice for a quiet environment.
- **No harmful emissions or waste:** Solar energy systems produce no harmful emissions or waste during operation.
- **Does not need water access:** Solar panels do not require water for their operation.
While wind turbines (C) also meet many of these criteria, they can produce noise and may not be suitable if noise is a significant concern for Anna. The other options (A and D) do not meet her criteria as well as solar panels do.
