A. They can be cheaper.
B.They can have a lower impact on the environment.
C.They can be used up rapidly.
D.They can contribute to global warming.

Answer 1

The answer is A. Its relative cheapness compared to its renewable counterparts is what allows nonrenewable resources to continue to dominate the market. Also, you can conclude this answer through elimination of the other three choices. Nonrenewable resources actually have a higher impact on the environment because of its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Also, it being used up rapidly and contributing to global warming are both true, but are disadvantages rather than advantages.

Answer 2

Advantages of using non-renewable resources is that they can be cheaper.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite the various disadvantages of the non-renewable sources of energy, there are some major advantages of non-renewable energy resources. The biggest advantages of such types of resources is that they are available at cheaper rates.

These resources are considered cost-effective as they are currently overflowing in nature meaning that they are available in sufficient measures. Using such resources still causes damage to the environment and we should focus more on safer alternatives.

For example: Gasoline/Petrol or diesel is still regarded as cost-effective in many countries for vehicles.
