Answer:

E. wood (from trees)

Step-by-step explanation:

As said in the question renewable resources are those which aren't derived from fossil fuels. Out of all the options, wood is the only natural resource which doesn't come from fossil fuels.

Natural gas comes from fossil fuels as does kerosene, coal, and oil. Thus, all these answers are incorrect.

I hope this helps!! Ask questions if you need!
