Solution

The correct option is A Natural gas
Nonrenewable energy sources are those which do not form or replenish in a particular period of time. Once they are used up they are lost forever. Coal, crude oil and natural gas are fossil fuels formed from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Hence they cannot be replenished in a short time interval. Thus the correct answer is option A.
