    replenished as quickly as it is consumed?
    A Renewable resource Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Non-renewable resource Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Inexhaustible resource Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Organic resource Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Non-renewable resources are resources that do not renew at a sufficient rate compared to the speed at which they are consumed. They include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and minerals such as gold, silver, and iron. Once depleted, they cannot be readily replaced, which makes their use unsustainable in the long term.
