Solution
The correct option is B Coal
Non-renewable energy sources are those that cannot be reused again as their actual form gets converted to a waste product or some other non-usable form. Coal is obtained from the Earth's crust by the decomposition of dead matter for long period of time. It is commonly used as the source of energy. There are limited deposits of coal and it takes a long time to be formed. Hence it is a non-renewable form of energy. Thus the correct answer is option D.
