Answer to Problem 33R
Option (c)
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The source of the energy that can be used only one time and destroy in the single-use is called nonrenewable sources. These sources cannot be regenerated after use.
The nonrenewable resources can be reproduced in a very long duration, so option (A) is incorrect.
The nonrenewable resources produced very slow as they are being used, so option (B) is incorrect.
The nonrenewable sources are also called fossil fuels because they are not being produced as fast as they are being used, so option (C) is correct.
The renewable sources as well as nonrenewable sources contain hydrocarbon, so the option (D) is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Thus, the option correct option is C.
