Which of the following is an environmental consequence of nuclear energy? A. Global warming B. Smog C. Greenhouse gases D. Water pollution

The correct answer is D. Water pollution.Nuclear energy production can lead to water pollution due to the discharge of radioactive wastewater from nuclear power plants. This wastewater contains radioactive materials that can contaminate water sources, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. While nuclear energy does not directly contribute to global warming, smog, or greenhouse gases, the potential for water pollution makes it an environmental consequence of nuclear energy production.
