Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	hydroelectric
B	renewable
C	solar
D	fossil fuels

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -FOSSIL FUELS FORM. After millions of years underground, the compounds that make up plankton and plants turn into fossil fuels. Plankton decomposes into natural gas and oil, while plants become coal. Today, humans extract these resources through coal mining and the drilling of oil and gas wells on land and offshore.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conclusion: how long will fossil fuels last? It is predicted that we will run out of fossil fuels in this century. Oil can last up to 50 years, natural gas up to 53 years, and coal up to 114 years. Yet, renewable energy is not popular enough, so emptying our reserves can speed up.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. As it takes millions of years for them to form and the supply is not never-ending, this means they are not a reliable, renewable source of energy to be used across the world.
