The option that is a natural material that is not a fossil fuel is cotton. To get the answer, you can identify each option and determine whether it is a natural material or a fossil fuel.
Petroleum and natural gas are both fossil fuels, which are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Vinyl, on the other hand, is a synthetic material made from petroleum, which means it is not a natural material.
Cotton, however, is a natural material that comes from the cotton plant. It is a renewable resource and not derived from fossil fuels. Therefore, out of the given options, cotton is the correct answer.
