Solution

The correct option is C Fossil fuels
Non-renewable sources take millions of years to form and once these resources are used, they cannot be regained at a quick enough pace to keep up with the consumption rate.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy. It is a general term for the buried combustible deposits, formed from the decayed plants and animals when subjected to high heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over millions of years.
