Solution
The correct option is B Renewable and Non Renewable
Based on the availability, resources
are classified as renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable resources: These are the
sources which can be replenished over a period of time. Example is forest wood
because wood can be grown by reforestation.
Non-renewable: These are the sources
that cannot be renewed and available in limited quantities. Examples include coal,
nuclear, oil, and natural gas.
