Answer:

The correct answer is - these resources take million years to be replenished.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-renewable resources are the resources that come from a source that will finish ultimately or run out or can not be replenished in one or more human life cycles. These sources might take million years to replenish.

Most non-renewable resources are fossil fuels, coal, natural gas. Fossil fuels, cols are were formed as the remains of dead plants and animals but takes millions of years to decay, under huge amounts of pressure and heat.
