Answer 1

D. There are drilling platforms all along the coast that are used to drill for natural gas that can be used to generate electricity

Step-by-step explanation:

Solar panels are a renewable resource because the sun will not run out. The power plant uses water, so it is also a renewable resource. Windmills use wind, and wind will not run out so it is a renewable resource. However, natural gas and oil are not renewable resources because they will run out one day.
