nuclear is not a renewable source because uranium is used for nuclear power and uranium is limited.

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is- A) Nuclear power.

Renewable sources of energy are those resources that can be replenished or renewed naturally. They do not run off that is they are inexhaustible.

Example of renewable sources- Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydro-power.

On the other hand, non renewable source of energy are exhaustible and can not be replenished naturally.

Nuclear power ( resulted due to heat produced in the fission of atoms) is non- renewable source of energy. This is because the fuel that is used in most of the nuclear fission reactions is uranium, which is found in fixed amount on earth.
