• A. Renewable
• B. Non-renewable
• C. Biodegradable
• D. Degradable

Answer 1

The correct option is B Non-renewable

A non-renewable resource (also called as finite resource) is a resource, that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction. Non-renewable resources are resources, that are not easily replenished by the environment. Earth minerals and metal ores, fossil fuels (such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas), nuclear fuels, and groundwater in certain aquifers are all non-renewable resources.
