The best response regarding geothermal energy from the options provided is:
B: generate electricity by creating steam
Geothermal energy involves harnessing heat from the Earth to produce steam, which can then be used to generate electricity. While geothermal energy has the potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, it cannot completely replace them in every context due to geographical and technological limitations. Additionally, geothermal resources are not evenly distributed around the world, meaning they cannot be utilized equally everywhere (contradicting option C).
