Solution

The correct option is C Rebewable ResourcesNon-Renewable ResourcesThese are abiotic resources onlyThese are both abiotic and bioticresources
Renewable resources are those resources that can be replenished on their own within reasonable time in nature. They can include both biotic resources (forests, wildlife) and abiotic resources (water, sunlight).

On the other hand, non-renewable resources are those resources whose replenishment takes millions of years. They also include both biotic (fossil fuel) and abiotic resources (minerals).
