A. It depends on how it is farmed.

Timber is considered a renewable resource when it is managed sustainably. This means that trees are replanted after being harvested, ensuring that there will always be a supply of timber available. If harvesting practices are not sustainable and trees are not replanted, then timber can become nonrenewable. Therefore, the management practices used in timber production play a crucial role in determining its renewability.
