Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are the bulbs which are generally used to save the electricity. These bulbs use and convert only 1/5$^{th}$ of the electricity into light. There is consumption of less electricity. This helps in reduction of about 6000 megawatts of electricity per year. 

Nonrenewable resources are resources that are not easily replenished by the environment. Thus coal and  minerals are examples of non renewable resources.

India is ranked 5th largest wind producing country in the world. The largest wind energy farm is in Muppandal, Tamilnadu having the capacity of 1500MW wind production. So, the correct option is C.

CFL is compact fluorescent light. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are used in place of incandescent bulb because they use about 1/7$^{th}$ of the power used by the incandescent bulb. Hence, they are highly efficient in saving electricity.

Oil is a mixture of molecules that mainly contain carbon and hydrogen. When it burns it also produces CO$ _2$, but 25% less than coal for the same amount of energy (because the combustion of hydrogen gives energy but generates only water). 

Energy generated by using wind, hydrogen, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass is known as non-conventional energy. These are the inexhaustible non-conventional resource. Hence, these are the best choice for energy production.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. Photosynthesis in green plants harnesses the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide, water, and minerals into organic compounds and gaseous oxygen. Hence, planting green trees is an easy way to conserve solar energy.

About 20% of the world oxygen is produced in the rainforests. amazon They are described as the  'lungs of the planet' because they provide the essential world environmental service of continuously recycling $CO _$ into $O _2$.
