Solution

The correct option is B Coal
An exhaustible resource is a resource which is not replenished in nature over a short period of time.

Coal and petroleum are formed from the degradation of dead animals and plants millions of years ago. Since coal cannot be easily replenished it is an exhaustible resource.

Wind, water and sunlight are inexhaustible resources as they have an endless supply.
