"Sugar is not considered a nonrenewable resource because it comes from living plants."

Reason: nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be quickly replaced (like fossil fuels or minerals). Sugar is produced from sugarcane, a plant that can be grown and harvested repeatedly, so it's a renewable resource.
