Answer»

The correct answer is (c) Uses natural fuel

Explanation: PWR uses enriched fuel making the reactor more COMPACT in SIZE. And due to high NEGATIVE temperature coefficient, a PWR is stable. Water is used as the coolant. It does have positive power demand coefficient and RESPONDS greatly to more power demand.
