The correct answer is option (D) Uranium.

The renewable resources are those, which can be replaced naturally. The non renewable resources are those resources, which cannot be replaced naturally or takes a lot of time to be replaced naturally. The trees and the plants including the crops are a type of renewable resource. Cattles can also reproduce naturally and can be replaced.

Uranium once used, cannot be recycled naturally, and takes a lot of time to form again. So, it is a non renewable resource.
