What advantage do the fuel cells have over primary and secondary batteries?

Options

  1. AFuel cells have higher energy density.
  2. BFuel cells produce fewer environmental pollutants.
  3. CFuel cells are smaller and more portable.
  4. DPrimary batteries contain a limited amount of reactants and are discharged when the reactants have been consum

Correct answer

D. Primary batteries contain a limited amount of reactants and are discharged when the reactants have been consum

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) Primary batteries contain a limited amount of reactants and are discharged when the reactants have been consumed. Secondary batteries can be recharged but take a long time to recharge. Fuel cell runs continuously as long as the reactants are supplied to it and products are removed continuously.
