Solution
The correct option is D Fossil fuels
A non-renewable resource (also called as a finite resource or depleting source) is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames. An example is carbon-based, organically-derived fuel. Earth minerals and metal ores, fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas) are all non-renewable resources. In contrast, resources such as sunlight, water, timber and wind are considered renewable resources, largely because their localized replenishment can occur within time frames useful to humans.
