Answer: (B)

Freshwater

• An inexhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is found in such abundance, that it is unlikely to diminish or get exhausted. For example, air, solar energy, wind power, rainfall, etc.
• The exhaustible resource is a natural resource, which is likely to diminish and get exhausted due to continuous use or exploitation. For example, minerals, fossil fuels, water, forests, etc.

So, the correct answer is option B.
