Solution

The correct option is B False
Coal and petroleum are non-renewable exhaustible natural resources as once used they are lost forever. They are not replenished by nature and their formation takes a very long period of time.
On the other hand, inexhaustible resources are renewable resources that get replenished by nature and hence, they don't get depleted when used. For example, forests, water etc.
Hence the statement given in the question is not correct.
So, the correct answer is 'False'.
