Answer 1

Fossil fuels are not renewable and contribute to environmental destruction and climate change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is: d. not renewable and contribute to environmental destruction and climate change.

Fossil fuels are not sustainable because they are not renewable and deplete over time. They are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that were buried and subjected to extreme heat and pressure over millions of years. Examples of fossil fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas.

Additionally, the combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to environmental destruction and climate change.
