Quote  from National Geographic - "Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes—or even in many, many lifetimes."

The right answer is C.

Non-renewable energies are exhaustible source. The concept of non-renewable energy is taken into account at the human life scale, as some processes, such as carbon accumulation, took up to five hundred million years.

In general, non-renewable energy is what consumes a type of fuel (oil, coal, uranium ...)

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
