C

None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some resources will practically never run out. These are known as renewable resources. Renewable resources also produce clean energy, meaning less pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change.

Detailed explanation-2: -Renewable resources can be replaced as quickly as they are used. Renewable resources may also be so abundant that running out is impossible. The difference between non-renewable and renewable resources is like the difference between ordinary batteries and rechargeable ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general these resources have been grouped into two types: renewable resources and nonrenewable resources. Renewable resources may be defined as resources that have the potential to be replaced over time by natural processes. The renewal process may be relatively quick, as with sunshine which comes on a daily basis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The difference between these two types of resources is that renewable resources can naturally replenish themselves while nonrenewable resources cannot. This means that nonrenewable resources are limited in supply and cannot be used sustainably.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term nonrenewable resource refers to a natural substance that is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. As such, a nonrenewable resource is a finite resource.
