Correct Answer - Option 2 : Coal

Resources that are drawn from nature and used without much modification are called natural resources. Natural resources can be divided into renewable and non-renewable resources.

Renewable resources are those which get renewed naturally over time.

  • Examples of renewable resources are:
    • The sun.
    • Wind.
    • Wildlife
    • Fisheries.
    • Hydropower(water).
    • Geothermal power
  • Renewable resources like solar and wind energy are unlimited and are not affected by human activities.
  • Water seems to be an unlimited renewable resource yet careless use of water, soil, and forest can affect their stock.
  • Fishery resources, unlike minerals and fossil fuels, are renewable in the sense that they are capable of growth. 

Non-renewable resources are the resources that are available in limited stock.

  • Once the stocks are exhausted it may take a period much more than human life spans to be renewed or replenished.
  • Examples of non-renewable resources are:
    • Coal.
    • Petroleum.
    • Natural gas.
