Solution

The correct option is A exhaustible
Coal is a type of fossil fuel. It takes millions of years to be formed. The rate of consumption of coal is much more than the rate of its formation. Therefore, if we continue to use it at a fast pace, it will be exhausted very soon. So, coal is an exhaustible natural resource.
