The correct option is D All of these
Coal and petroleum are categorised as fuel minerals. These are carbonaceous fuels. These are extracted from earth and are formed by fossil decomposition and are hence called fossil fuels. These fuels form a major source of energy. These are also non-renewable because these are the sources that cannot be renewed and are available in limited quantities.
