C
They decrease the money spent by consumers on transportation.
D
They conserve gasoline reserves so they can be burned in the future.

Explanation

Fuel cell cars use hydrogen to produce electricity, and their main emission while operating is water vapor rather than carbon dioxide from burning gasoline. This makes “They use hydrogen, which produces water vapor instead of CO₂” the best environmental argument among the choices. The overall environmental benefit also depends on how the hydrogen is produced.
