Answer: B. All are considered nonrenewable resources

D. All can be categorized as energy resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non renewable resources are the resources that are in fixed quantity and can be used up. These include wood, petroleum, coal, steel, aluminum etc.

An energy resource simply refers to the resources that can be used to produce heat or electricity such as wood, petroleum, coal etc.

Coal, petroleum and wood are not renewable resources and they're not inexhaustible. They are exhaustible and non renewable resource.

Therefore, the correct options are B and D.
