Read the passage below and answer the questions

The need for solar electricity is clear. It is safe, ecologically sound, continuously available, and has no moving parts.
The basic problem with the solar photovoltaic devices is economics, but until recently very little progress had been
made towards the development of low-cost photovoltaic devices. The larger part of research funds has been devoted to
study of single-crystal silicon solar cells, despite the evidence, including that of leading manufacturers of crystalline
silicon, that this technique holds little promise. The reason for this pattern is understandable and historical. Crystalline
silicon is the active element in the very successful semi-conductor industry, and virtually all of the solid state devices
contain silicon transistors and diodes. Crystalline silicon, however, is particularly unsuitable for terrestrial solar cells.

Question Description The main advantage of the solar photovoltaic devices over single-crystalline solar cell is that

A Little by little, progress is taking place in developing them

B They are being developed in spite of inadequate research funds

C They are suitable for terrestrial solar cells

D They are facing stiff competition with semiconductor industry

authority produced innumerable inconveniences. The line of demarcation was not, and perhaps could not be, drawn
