D
Nuclear power uses up petroleum products and creates a potential for disaster.

Explanation

Nuclear power produces radioactive waste that must be safely stored for a long time, and accidents at nuclear facilities can cause serious harm. It does not use up petroleum products as its fuel, and air pollutants are not the key disadvantage listed here. The correct choice is C, “Nuclear power produces radioactive waste and creates a potential for disaster.”
