A
1 and 3
💡 Explanation:

Hydrogen fuel is completely pollution free; the only by-product in its combustion is water.
The conversion of hydrogen into liquid is a costly process. Because hydrogen is a gas, it cannot be compressed into a liquid form without intensive cost and energy input.
Hydrogen is difficult to store and distribute.
