The correct answer is - coal.

The poorer countries do not put a lot of effort to protect the environment and not pollute it. The main reason for this is that they are struggling with poverty, thus they choose no means when it comes to making more profit. This leads to the usage of cheaper and easier to access natural resources in order to produce energy, as they make the most sense to make more profit. From the suggested options, the coal is the most likely source of energy to be used in poorer countries. The coal is cheap, it is found in lot of places around the world, and it is found in abundance. It is also a very powerful source of energy, and that is exactly what the economies of the poorer countries look for.
