Solution

The correct option is B Non-renewable resource
Groundwater is usually removed from the aquifer at a rate much faster rate as compared to its recharge rate which is very slow. Also, the recharging of groundwater by natural or human processes is not reliable. Hence, groundwater is considered a non-renewable resource.
