• A. Wind, ocean and coal
• B. Kerosene, wind and tide
• C. Wind, wood and sun
• D. Petroleum, wood and sun

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Wind, wood and sun

• Fossil fuel is the fuel derived from dead remains of plants and animals, which are buried underground for millions of years. For example - coal is obtained from the dead remains of plants while crude oil is obtained from the dead remains of animals. Kerosene is obtained by distillation of crude oil.
• Some other sources of energy which are not derived from dead remains of plants and animals (and are hence, not fossil fuels) are wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc.

So, the correct option is C.
