A green data centre is a facility that is designed to minimize its environmental impact and optimize energy efficiency.

Option 1 is incorrect because a green data centre is not specifically created by environmentalists to keep a record of green technology or clean production techniques. It is a facility that implements green practices itself.

Option 2 is the correct answer because it accurately defines a green data centre. It mentions that it is a repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of mechanical, lighting, electrical, and computer systems. These systems are developed with the aim of optimizing energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of the data centre.

Option 3 is incorrect because it pertains to a data centre for green buildings and optimizing power consumption, but it does not fully capture the concept of a green data centre which encompasses more than just the building`s power consumption.

Option 4 is unrelated to the concept of a green data centre as it mentions a repository providing information about small-scale industries adopting energy efficiency measures, which is not the primary purpose of a green data centre.

In conclusion, a green data centre is a facility that focuses on energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact in its operations and infrastructure.
