Correct Option: B

The Moon and other celestial bodies contain a vast amount of natural resources. One, and in abundance, is helium-3. It is estimated that forty tons of it can meet twenty five percent of the global energy demand for one year. This clean, nonradioactive and safe source of energy scarcely exists on Earth. Helium-3 derives from the dismantlement of old and outdated nuclear warheads. Helium-3 is used within medicine, scientific research, and well logging operations in the oil and gas industry, and for homeland security. Major space nations such as Russia, China, India, and Japan appear to have integrated within their space programmes to commercially exploit the Moon for helium-3 in the future.
