the barriers to wider ___________ of rooftop solar energy

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Adoption.

  • 'Wider' is an adjective that requires a noun after it.
  • 'Adopt' is a verb so it is eliminated.
  • 'Adopting' is both a noun and a verb so it requires an object after it which is not provided in the passage.
  • 'Adopter' is a noun but it describes a person while the passage needs a process.
  • 'Adoption' is a noun and also a process.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
