Answer 1

option d is correct i.e both a and b is correct

economic of scale refers to the cost advantage that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output, decreasing with increasing scale, in above options cost can be controlled by efficient plant management and in option b if we have a better understanding then we can extract maximum energy from the plant without wasting it i.e fully utilization of nuclear resource and thus save cost
