Which of the following sources of energy is/are exhausible? i. Solar ii. Fossil fuels iii. Tidal power
A
ii, and iii
B
i and ii only
C
i and iii only
D
ii only
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Exhaustible energy sources are those that are finite and will eventually run out. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are examples of exhaustible energy sources because they take millions of years to form. On the other hand, solar energy and tidal power are renewable energy sources because they are replenished naturally and regularly. Therefore, only statement II is correct.
