A.Artificial and non-renewable
B.Natural and renewable
C.Artificial and renewable
D.Natural and non-renewable

Answer 1

Hint: Natural resources are materials or things that people use from the earth. There are two types of natural resources, i.e, renewable and non-renewable.

Complete answer:
A renewable resource is an organic natural resource. It can be replenished to overcome usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes. It is to be noted that renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. A resource that cycles or can be replaced within a human life span can be said to be a renewable resource.
Water can be considered a renewable material when carefully controlled usage, treatment, and release are followed. Air, soil, and sun are renewable resources on earth. Sun not only provides light but also supports all life on Earth. It is also considered inexhaustible. The wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth. It is not only renewable but inexhaustible too. Soil is a mixture of living organisms and dirt. It initially takes thousands of years to form, the rate at which soil can regenerate depends on the climate of an area. It is also a renewable resource.
Non renewable resources exist in fixed amounts. They can be used up. E.g., oil, natural gas, and coal.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: It should be noted that fossil fuels were formed within the Earth from dead plants and animals over millions of years. Thus, care must be taken while using them and we must try to shift to more and more renewable resources.
