What type of resource is coal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Non-renewable resource

The governing concept is the classification of energy resources according to the time required for replacement. Coal is a fossil fuel formed from buried plant remains that were transformed by heat and pressure over millions of years. Because this geological process is extremely slow compared with human consumption, coal deposits cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. Its reserves are also finite, so coal is a non-renewable resource and option A is correct. Solar radiation, wind, and flowing water are renewable because natural processes continually restore them. Option B is therefore incorrect. Coal is not unlimited, and it is a naturally occurring mineral fuel rather than a human-made resource, so options C and D are also incorrect.
