Answer 1

As you say, dead plants and animals produce compounds that are highly rich in hydrocarbons, and we know them as fossil fuels, due to the ancient of these deposits.

But also they could become renewable resources, especially in short term, since others organisms will use the nutrients they release into the environment.

So the answer must be C. renewable resources.
