Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Non-renewable resources cannot be naturally replaced in a short time, and therefore, they can be exhausted or depleted. This includes resources such as fossil fuels, minerals, and metals. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the nature of non-renewable resources. Option D is also incorrect as non-renewable resources take millions of years to form and cannot be replaced quickly in nature.
