Solution

The correct option is D Both A and R are false.
Renewable resources are those resources that can get replenished as we use them. They are also called non-exhaustible resources. For example, air, water, and sunlight. However, all these resources can get replenished only if we consume them at a rate that is slower than their rates of replenishment.
