Question

Which of the following is a renewable resource?
a. Fossil fuels
b. Metals
c. Sunlight
d. Both A and B

Answer 1

Hint: Any resources that are not used beyond renewability such as forest, soil, and wildlife are exhausted from the replenished naturally known renewable resource. With the continuous exploitation the exhaustible resources diminish and get exhausted.

Complete answer:
Nature provides the raw materials that are useful resources such as water, air, soil, forest and water and naturally occurring material. With the help of the natural resources we can develop new things for us. Solar energy that we get from the sun and also a big source of energy and easily renewed by nature. All the phenomena such as photosynthesis, wind water cycle possible in the presence of solar energy.

Water is the most important natural resource that’s used for many purposes such as living organisms that need water to live, drinking, cooking, and growing crops. And hydro energy is the source in which water is stored in the dam and flows into the rivers.

Wind energy is also a source of renewable energy that’s why wind is used for grinding grain, producing electricity and pumping the water in many states of India such as Rajasthan, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Kerala, and West Bengal. Biogas is also another example of the renewal resource obtained from the decomposition of animals and plants with the help of the microorganisms.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: Air, wind power, solar energy are the inexhaustible resources which are found in abundance that do not like to get exhausted and diminish. On the other side fossil fuels, forests minerals that like to diminish and get exhausted due to the continuous exploitation type of renewable resources or natural resources.
