Which of the following is a non-renewable resource?

  1. Copper

  2. Solar energy

  3. Wind energy

  4. Wood

The correct answer is: Copper

A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that is limited in supply and cannot be easily replaced within a short period of time. It takes thousands or even millions of years for these resources to form, making them finite and eventually depleted. Copper is a non-renewable resource because it is a mineral that is extracted from the Earth's crust and cannot be replaced once it is used up. Solar energy and wind energy, on the other hand, are renewable resources because they are constantly replenished and therefore can be used indefinitely. Wood can also be considered a renewable resource as long as it is harvested sustainably.
