Respuesta :

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. 

Answer:

  B) Considered a nonrenewable resource because it takes a long time to be formed.

Explanation:

  This type of resource is considered nonrenewable because it cannot be fastly replaced naturally at the same level as its consumption.

  Earth minerals and fossil fuels are considered under this type of resource. Natural gas is used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. With industrial purposes, it is used also as a chemical feedstock in the production of plastics.

  It is found deep in the ground and often is near petroleum. There are two ways that gas is created, biogenic and thermogenic. Biogenic gas is created from organisms in marshes and landfills. Thermogenic gas is created by the heat and pressure combination with buried organic material deeper underground.
