    A Solar energy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Coal is a non-renewable source of energy because it takes millions of years to form and is finite.   Once depleted, it cannot be replenished within a human lifespan.   In contrast, solar, wind, and geothermal energy are renewable sources, as they are naturally replenished.
