Answer
A
a coal power plant
B
a gas power plant
C
a nuclear power plant
D
an oil power plant

Explanation

Nuclear power plants generate electricity through nuclear fission rather than burning fuel, so they release very little greenhouse gas during operation. Coal, natural gas, and oil power plants burn fossil fuels, which produce carbon dioxide. Therefore, a nuclear power plant produces the least greenhouse gases among these choices.
