Explanation

Biodiesel, solar, hydroelectric and wind all draw on continuously replenished natural flows, so they form the renewable set.

Statement 1 qualifies because biodiesel comes from plant and animal fats that regrow.

Statement 3 qualifies because solar energy taps the endless supply of sunlight.

Statement 4 qualifies because hydroelectric power uses the recurring water cycle.

Statement 5 qualifies because wind arises from ongoing atmospheric circulation.

Statement 2 fails because nuclear energy relies on finite uranium ore and is not renewable.
