Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Renewable energy harms the environment because it contains fossil fuels which leads to a build up of carbon in the atmosphere which isn't good but nonrenewable energy won't harm the environment because it takes a long time for it to be replenished (Millions of yrs) and when you use it , it doesn't release harmful things.
