Question

An exhaustible renewable resource is

• A. Coal
• B. Solar energy
• C. Water
• D. Petroleum

Answer 1

The correct option is C Water

Natural resources are of two types, exhaustible and non-exhaustible. Exhaustible resources are those natural resources that are available in limited quantity. Examples include coal, natural gas, petroleum. Non-exhaustible resources are those natural resources that are available in abundance. Renewable resources are those which can be recycled or replenished. The solar energy is renewable and non-exhaustible source. Water is a renewable but exhaustible resource. It may exhaust one day if used without any concern.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Water.'
