The correct answer is B. Coal is considered nonrenewable because it is being used faster than it is being produced. While coal is a natural resource that is formed from the remains of plants and trees that lived millions of years ago, the process of forming coal takes a significant amount of time and requires specific geological conditions. As a result, it cannot be replenished at the same rate it is being consumed, making it a finite resource.
