Passage: Despite advancements in renewable energy, global reliance on fossil fuels has only marginally decreased. Experts attribute this stagnation not to a lack of viable alternatives, but to deeply entrenched economic systems and powerful lobbying efforts that resist significant shifts in energy infrastructure. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The passage explicitly states that stagnation is due to 'deeply entrenched economic systems and powerful lobbying efforts,' rather than a lack of alternatives. This directly supports the inference that economic and political factors are the main obstacles.
