Answer 1

The correct option is B Only statement II is correct.

Renewable sources are collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat & Fossil fuels are sources of energy that have developed within the earth over millions of years. Since they can’t be replenished on a human timescale; therefore, they are not a renewable source of energy and hence they are a non-renewable source of energy.
