The answer is C. Coal. Coal is a fossil fuel, which is not a renewable resource. It takes millions of years to form from the remains of plants and animals. Once we use it up, it's gone. On the other hand, solar power (A), biofuel (B), and wind (D) are all renewable resources. They are naturally replenished on a human timescale. For example, the sun keeps shining, plants (which we can use to make biofuel) keep growing, and the wind keeps blowing.
