Answer:

C. Oil is burnt to heat water into steam in order to turn turbines and produce electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oil is a fossil fuel which found in geologic formations within the earth. It is one of the non-renewable resources found on earth.

  1. This is because, the rate at which it being consumed cannot be effectively replenished.
  2. It takes several millions of years for oil to form.
  3. Other choices are examples of renewable energy sources.

Solar, wind, geothermal energy are all renewable sources of energy and any of those choice is wrong.
