Solution

The correct option is B (III), (V) and (VIII)
The natural resources which are present in limited quantities and are likely to get exhausted with continuous exploitation are known as exhaustible resources. These resources are of two types- the ones which can be recycled or replenished are called renewable resources and the ones which cannot be recycled or replenished are called non-renewable resources. Minerals and fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are non-renewable, exhaustible resources.
