Renewable and non renewable resources – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C, D and F are correct because they describe regeneration, formation over long time scales, risks of overuse, the role of efficiency and examples of renewables. Statement E is false as understanding resource types is vital for planning sustainable extraction, use and substitution strategies. Hence, the option that includes all the true statements and excludes E is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct since it captures both conceptual definitions and policy-relevant implications for managing renewable and non-renewable resources, while rejecting the claim that classification is irrelevant.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits F and therefore fails to give concrete examples of renewable energy, which are important for learners to connect concepts with real technologies.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect as it includes E, which denies the value of classification for sustainable planning, despite its clear importance in policy and management.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it leaves out B, thus not explicitly recognising fossil fuels as non-renewable resources formed over geological periods.
