c.
Nuclear plants have high upfront capital costs but very low fuel and operating costs, so they can produce large amounts of electricity relatively cheaply per unit once built (and they emit little CO2). Options a, b and d are incorrect because nuclear fuel is not renewable, it does produce radioactive waste, and it does have environmental impacts.
