Answer: A.
Explanation: Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are nonrenewable and formed from the remains of once-living organisms over millions of years. They result from the decomposition and burial of organic matter under pressure and heat deep in the Earth. Options B and D incorrectly call geothermal energy (which comes from Earth's internal heat) and option C incorrectly labels fossil fuels as renewable.
