(单选题)

Some people claim that nuclear energy is essential because ______.

A.it provides a perfect solution to mass unemployment

B.it represents an enormous step forward in our scientific evolution

C.it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society

D.nuclear power stations can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff

参考答案：C

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据首段第五句“...nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society”提到，许多人认为核能很重要，因为它是社会工业发展所必需的，可以提供取之不尽且便宜的能源，C项正确。解决大规模失业问题的一个途径是提高工业生产，而不是核能，因此A项错。B、D项是支持使用核能者认为的核能的优点，与题干不构成因果关系。故选C。
