Answer:
B. On a flat, vacant plot in the outskirts of the city
Explanation:
Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing is a drilling method used in the oil and gas industry of most countries. It is the process whereby natural gas and petroleum is extracted from deep down the Earth. A crack is made in the rock layers, followed by the injection of a liquid called fracking liquid, which is usually water, at a very high pressure.
The process of fracking has serious environmental side effects e.g. release of harmful gases, noise pollution, water contamination etc. and hence, when choosing a fracking site, environment's sustainability and safety of people should be taken into account. This is why a fracking site cannot be designed in a residential city or around a neighborhood. The site should rather be designed in a location where it would pose a minimal environmental threat to the people e.g flat, vacant plot in the outskirts of the city
