all of these are drawbacks but im guessing the correct answer would be B.

Konnor Dillon · Answer 2

The correct answer is option B which is equipment failure can lead to spills and environment damage.

Explanation: It is obvious from the options given that option B is correct one. The major drawback of oil usage to environment is pollution which is caused due to oil spillage. Oil spillage means leaking of oil from storage container or the broken equipment running on oil. Oil spillage pollution is basically marine pollution, which is due to leakage of oils from ships and cruises. Other choices are not relevant to the usage of oil.
