Answer»

Right ANSWER is (b) When there is scarcity of water

To explain: Cooling tower is PREFERRED when there is scarcity of water. INSTEAD of circulating the water directly, it is sprinkled in the cooling tower to condense the exhausted steam coming from the turbine. The loss of water DUE to evaporation is compensated by supplying water directly from the river.
