Answer:

B.

Fossil Fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy resources

Energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plants).

Fossil Fuel

Energy sources, including oil, coal, and natural gas, are non-renewable resources that formed when prehistoric plants and animals died and were gradually buried by layers of rock. Over the past 20 years, nearly three-fourths of human-caused emissions came from the burning of fossil fuels.

Natural gas

It's considered renewable because of how easy it is to make, especially compared to nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels. As long as you have livestock matter or landfill materials, you can make more biomethane.

Answer:

fossil fuels

Step-by-step explanation:

Although fossil fuels are continually formed by natural processes, they are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated.
