a

A, B, C only

b

A, D, E only

c

A, B, D only

d

A, B, D, E only

✓ Correct answer: d)

A, B, D, E only

Explanation

A. has been used in spaceship
Yes, hydrogen–oxygen fuel cells were used in Apollo missions.

B. has an efficiency of 40% to produce electricity
Fuel cells typically have efficiencies around 40–60%; 40% is acceptable.

C. uses aluminium as catalysts
Catalyst used is platinum (Pt), not aluminium.

D. is eco-friendly
Product is water, so it is environmentally friendly.

E. is actually a type of Galvanic cell only
Fuel cell is a galvanic (voltaic) cell producing electrical energy from a spontaneous redox reaction.
