Solution

The correct option is C 1900

The world use of fossil fuels has nearly doubled since 1900. Fossil fuels are not a renewable energy resource. Once we've burned them all, there isn't any more, and our utilization of fossil fuels has nearly doubled every 20 years since 1900. This is an exacting problem for oil, because we also use it to make plastics and many other products.

Thus, the correct option is A.
