Solution

The correct option is A
exhaustible

Coal is an exhaustible natural resource. It is a type of fossil fuel and takes millions of years to form. The rate of consumption of coal is much more than the rate of formation. Therefore, if we continue to use it at this pace then it will be exhausted very soon.
