The Buddhist economist's attitude implies that fuels like coal and oil must be used only if

  • A.there is a plentiful supply
  • B.wood and water can be dispensed with
  • C.the relative cost of each is than of wood and water
  • D.there is no alternative fuel available

Answer: D

Correct answer: there is no alternative fuel available

The passage says such fuels must be used only if they are indispensable, and indispensable means that nothing else will serve. Plentiful supply is beside the point, since the objection is to exhausting a stock rather than to scarcity, and relative cost is the measure the Buddhist view sets aside.
