Question

A ____is a natural resource which replenishes to overcome resource depletion caused by usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally recurring processes.

• A. non-renewable resource
• B. renewable resource
• C. replenishable resource
• D. non-replenishable resource

Answer 1

The correct option is B renewable resource

All the things we need to survive such as food, water, air and shelter come from natural resources. Some of these resources can be replaced after they are used and are called renewable resources. Other resources such as fossil fuels cannot be replaced at all. Once they are used up, they are gone forever. This is because it takes a long time for their formation while their consumption occurs very quickly. These are called non-renewable resources.
