Solution

The correct option is B

Replenishable


Explanation for correct option:

Step 1: Tidal energy:

  1. Tidal energy is a type of hydropower. This energy is harnessed from the tides.
  2. Tides are generated due to gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the earth.
  3. Tidal sluice is used for harnessing the energy from the tide.

Step 2: Replenishable resource

  1. Replenishable form of energy is also termed as renewal source of energy. In this source of energy, energy is generated by the natural phenomena.
  2. Gravitational effect is the natural process, and by the effect of gravitation, tides are generated. So, tidal energy is a replenishable form of energy.
  3. Examples of renewal sources of energies are hydropower, solar power, geothermal form of energy, tidal energy.

Step 3: Diagram of tidal energy is as follows:

Explanation for incorrect options:

A. Nonliving physical and chemical elements in the environment are referred to as abiotic factors. The lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere are all common sources of abiotic resources.

C. Non-recyclable form of energy is also termed as non-renewal source of energy. For generating the non-renewal source of energy, millions of year is required. Examples of non-renewal sources of energy are oil, natural gas, coal.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
