Answer»

Correct choice is (b) Thermal power plant

For explanation I WOULD say: Thermal power plants produce fly ash. Fly ash contains PARTICLES of silica, alumina, and oxides of iron, calcium, and magnesium, and toxic HEAVY metals like LEAD, cobalt, arsenic, and copper. The thermal power plants in INDIA use bituminous coal and produce large quantities of ash.
