Detailed explanation-1: -Nonrenewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy. Once these resources are used up, they cannot be replaced, which is a major problem for humanity as we are currently dependent on them to supply most of our energy needs.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, among the given options, the non-renewable resource that can be reused by recycling is metallic minerals. The metals can be melted and re-casted or can be formed in different ways. Further, coal and petroleum can’t be recycled.
