Question

According to scientists, ocean waves could be a source of energy. Devices are being designed to capture the energy from waves and supply electricity to coastal areas. A direct benefit of utilizing this technology to produce energy would be the

destruction of habitats near the devices



decreased use of nonrenewable resources



release of gases needed for photosynthesis



increased use of finite resources

Answer 1

If we say something is beneficial, it must be positive and really mean to give advantage to one thing or another. Wave energy is a renewable energy since it can be used repeatedly over time without any problem on supply. Hence the greatest benefit it can give would be:
