Which of the following is a renewable source of energy?
AUranium
BPetroleum
CCoal
DBiomass ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Biomass
Explanation
Biomass is renewable because plant and animal matter regrows and can be replenished continually.
Uranium is a finite mined mineral, so it is non-renewable.
Petroleum is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and cannot be quickly replaced.
Coal is likewise a finite fossil fuel, not renewable.
Biomass stores recent solar energy captured through photosynthesis.
Burning biomass is broadly carbon-neutral if the plants are regrown.
