And lives are not the only things【C3】______. Women and girls in rural villages lose time and energy walking around【C4】______ dirty solid fuels, ranging from crop waste to cow dung.
The【C5】______ of a stove that produces more heat, more cleanly and with less fuel is clear.

选项
答案
D
解析
空格后为省略that的宾语从句,本句主句缺少谓语动词,故空格填入动词。空格前意为“更高的效率”,而空格后意为“他们能在数月内收回成本”,后者是对前者的解释,因此选择词库中的means“意味着”。
