Which of the following is a non-renewable energy resource? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a non-renewable energy resource?
A. Tidal energy
B. Solar energy
C. Wind energy
D. Coal
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Coal is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and is finite, thus non-renewable. Solar, wind, and tidal energy are renewable and replenishable. Non-renewable resources include coal, petroleum, natural gas, and nuclear minerals. Overexploitation leads to depletion and environmental pollution. Conservation of such resources is essential for sustainable development.
