Question

Which is a nonrenewable resource ?
A. Petroleum
B. Coal
C. Natural gas

Answer 1

All three options listed — A. Petroleum, B. Coal, and C. Natural Gas — are nonrenewable resources. They are fossil fuels formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient organisms and cannot be replenished on a human timescale. Each is considered nonrenewable because once they are extracted and used, they cannot be replaced.
