Answer 2

D.

Renewable resources can be replaced in a reasonable amount of time, but nonrenewable resources cannot.

Explanation:

Nonrenewable resources can be depleted within a human lifespan while renewable resources cannot. An examp0le of a non-renewable resource is crude oil. With continuous mining of crude oil, the natural reserves will continue to decrease until it gets even harder and more expensive to find.

Renewable resources, however, are cannot be depleted since they are ever self-renewing. An example is a wind and the sun whose energy can be harnessed to provide energy to power homes and businesses.
