Question

Example of renewable resource is

• A. Solar energy
• B. Uranium
• C. Thorium
• D. None of these

Hint:

Rule of thumb: if it’s a mineral fuel (U, Th), it’s non-renewable; sunlight and wind are renewable.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Define renewable vs non-renewable. Renewable resources replenish naturally on a human timescale (solar, wind, hydro, biomass). Non-renewables (coal, oil, uranium, thorium) are finite and deplete with use.
Step 2: Apply to options. Solar energy is inexhaustible at the human scale; Uranium and Thorium are nuclear fuels extracted from ores—non-renewable.
Step 3: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Solar energy (Option A).}} \]
