These losses are due to the resistance of the wires that carry the electricity, as well as to the fact that some of the electricity is converted to heat. Inefficient use of energy occurs when appliances and devices are not properly maintained or when they are not used in the most efficient way possible. For example, leaving lights on in an empty room is an example of inefficient use of energy.<\/p>\n<p>The loss of energy in distribution and inefficient use is a significant problem. It means that we are wasting valuable resources, and it also contributes to climate change. There are a number of things that we can do to reduce energy losses, such as improving the efficiency of our power plants and appliances, and using energy more efficiently in our homes and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Option A: 10% is incorrect because it is too low.
