• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Conventionally, the world has been dependent on sources of energy that are exhaustible, e.g., coal, petroleum oil, natural gas, etc. The sources of energy are not forever and are continuously depleting and will be exhausted in near future. In order to meet global energy requirements in the future, these conventional sources of energy will have to be replaced by sources that are inexhaustible.
2. Inexhaustible sources of energy that get renewed after a period of time and which have not been used conventionally are called non-conventional sources of energy.
3. Some renewable sources of energy are- solar energy from the sun, wind energy, biomass from plants, etc.

Hence, the given statement is true.
