Which statement is true?
a. combustion engines burn gasoline, a renewable resource, to power a vehicle. b. hydroelectric dams use the energy from flowing water, a nonrenewable resource, to generate electricity.
c. many power plants burn fossil fuels, a renewable resource, to generate electricity.
d. solar cells use the energy from the sun, a renewable resource

The answer would be D, Solar cells use the energy from the sun, a renewable resource, to generate electricity.

A renewable resource is something that never runs out, for example, the power of the sun. The sun comes up everyday, therefore it is considered a renewable resource.

A nonrenewable resource would be something like coal. We do use coal for things, but eventually the coal will run out. That is why coal would be considered a nonrenewable resource.

I hope this helps others understand better what the difference between a renewable resource and a nonrenewable resource is!

it is the second option.
