In the given options, only a space station orbiting Earth is in motion and all the other are in rest position.

Hence, option C) a space station orbiting Earth is only exhibiting kinetic energy.

Nuclear Power Plant uses a Non Renewable Energy Source.

Non-renewable energy is that source of energy which can not be used again and again. This sort of energy is sustainable to exhaustion.

Non renewable energy is that form of energy which is subject to deletion. This type of energy is of many uses to us. It can be used to produce electricity, heating, cooking, transportation and manufacturing. 85% of the energy used in the industrial processes is form the non-renewable type of energy.

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another.. This bond generates two oppositely charged ions.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Example ::

One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.

From both voices it can be conclude that,

Varanasi is more than 20km but less than 22km away. That is it is 21 kms away.

The unit of energy in MKS system is Joule.

The statements true about viruses are :

1. The capsid enters the host cell if the virus is enveloped.

2. Enveloped viruses bud from the host cell. 

3. HIV contains reverse transcriptase.

4. A retrovirus contains RNA.

The error lies in part (1). 

As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. This is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc...

'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.
