Solution
The correct option is C Both a and b
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are considered non-renewable because they cannot be replenished in a short period of time. A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames.
