A) while in Germany it is just over 33%
B) compared to Germany, which uses just over 33%
C) whereas nuclear poweraccounts for just over 33% of the energy produced in Germany
D) whereas just over 33% of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
E) compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33%
In A and E,
it lacks a clear referent.
Eliminate A and E.
B:
Germany, which uses just over 33% [of the energy produced in France]
Since the first clause of the sentence discusses
75% of the energy produced in France,
33% seems to imply
33% of the energy produced in France.
The result is the following meaning:
Germany uses just over 33% of THE ENERGY PRODUCED IN FRANCE.
Not the intended meaning.
Eliminate B.
D:
33% of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
Here,
the energy seems to refers to
the energy produced in France, the type of energy discussed in the preceding clause.
The result is the following meaning:
33% of THE ENERGY PRODUCED IN FRANCE comes from nuclear power in Germany.
Not the intended meaning.
The correct answer is
C.
