Question

Statement I: Fossil fuels are renewable sources of energy.
Statement II: Renewable sources are naturally replenished over time.

• A. Only statement I is correct.
• B. Both statements are correct.
• C. Both statements are incorrect.
• D. Only statement II is correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is D 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.
