Solution

The correct option is B Only statement II is correct.
A renewable source is a resource which is replaced and refilled in nature by natural processes over a short period of time. For example: sunlight, wind, rain.

Fossil fuels are formed when dead plants and animals undergo decomposition under high pressure and temperature for a long period of time. As they take a long time to form, they are non-renewable sources.

Hence, only statement II is correct.
