A natural resource is renewable if it

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A renewable resource can be used repeatedly without running out or being depleted. Examples include solar energy, wind energy, and biomass. While these resources may have limits to their production or availability, they can be used repeatedly over time.

Option A is incorrect because all resources have limits and need rest or time to replenish. 
Option C is incorrect because non-renewable resources cannot be replenished once used, but renewable resources can be. 
Option D is incorrect because even if a resource is available at no cost, it may still have limits or be subject to depletion. 
Option E is incorrect because a perfectly elastic supply means that the resource can be produced or supplied at any quantity without affecting its price, but it does not necessarily mean that it is renewable.
