Statement: Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfil its energy requirements?
Arguments:
- Yes, Most of the energy sources used at present is exhaustible.
- No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks in.
Answer: Option

Clearly, harnessing solar energy will be helpful as it is an inexhaustible resource unlike other resources. So, argument I holds. But argument II is vague as solar energy is the cheapest form of energy.

There is no proof that solar is the cheapest energy source. If so, everyone would develop solar energy. The cost to build a solar energy system per output determines the cost-effectiveness and we don't have the data. Without the data, you're determining that solar energy is the cheapest is just out of your imagination which can't be valid.

Solar energy harnessing needs more budget than any other energy if we're comparing it with nature then would be a great argument that we are not harming nature so it's good but if not then there's no way that solar energy is the cheapest it's the most handful but very high at putting money for just harnessing, the settling and giving off also required money. But considering all we need a huge capital.
