Solution

The correct option is B False

Exhaustible natural resources

  1. Exhaustible natural resources are available in limited quantities, and human activities can completely deplete them.
  2. Naturally, this implies that we are consuming more natural resources. We will soon reach a point where nature cannot provide such resources, including plants and trees, animals, mineral ores, and fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas if we continue on our current path.
  3. Oxygen in the air is an inexhaustible natural resource because it is abundant in nature and cannot be depleted by human activities. Exhaustible energy sources will get destroyed and exhausted in a few hundred years.
  4. Coal, petroleum, and other non-renewable energy sources are all finite. Inexhaustible energy resources are those that will not run out in the future.

Final answer: The given statement is False.
