Answer

Correct option: D.

Using alternate energy sources

Fuelwood or firewood is a renewable conventional resource used for cooking and heating in villages, remote areas, crematoria, etc.
More than $2$ billion persons use wood as fuel. In India, the annual consumption of firewood is around $300$ million per cubic meter with natural availability being only $60$ million per cubic meter.
To overcome the shortage and fulfill the demand, excessive trees are cut down leading to deforestation.
Fuelwood crisis can be resolved by using alternate or non $-$ conventional sources of energy like solar, wind, tidal, or biogas energy.
