Where is the best place for wind turbines?
- In the city
- Wind farms that are away from the city
- Hot islands
- At the beach
Correct Answer

A. Wind farms that are away from the city

Explanation

Wind farms that are away from the city are the best place for wind turbines because they are located in open areas with strong and consistent wind currents. Being away from the city reduces the potential for obstructions such as tall buildings and trees, allowing the turbines to capture more wind energy. Additionally, wind farms in rural areas have less noise and visual impact on the local population.
