The option that is not an example of a nonrenewable resource is animals.

Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are all considered nonrenewable resources because they are formed over millions of years and are finite in supply. Once they are depleted, they cannot be replaced on a human timescale. In contrast, animals can reproduce and can be considered renewable resources if managed sustainably.
