Answer 1

The statement that best describes a renewable energy resource is: "It produces less pollutants than fossil fuels."

Renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, typically generate energy with minimal emissions of pollutants compared to fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide and other harmful substances when burned. The other statements either apply to certain contexts (such as cost) or characterize fossil fuels rather than renewable resources.
