Can nonrenewable resources be used sustainably?

A. Yes, nonrenewable resources are always beneficial for the environment

B. No, there are only negative effects of using nonrenewable resources

C. No, there's a finite amount of nonrenewable resources

D. Yes, as long as use doesn't exceed availability
is the correct answer

D. Yes, as long as use doesn't exceed availability

we know non renewable resources once used up can't be replenished, the question of can it be used sustainably certainly does not present a good picture of its use. It is certainly more difficult to replace such resources.

Answer:

C. No, there's a finite amount of nonrenewable resources

Explanation:

Sustainability can be define as the use of resources in a way so that they can remain available for the present as well as for the future generations.

Non-renewable resources are the resources which cannot be replenished or reused after a single consumption. These resources are limited in nature. They are produced after the long geological processes for example fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, natural gas and others.

As there is no finite amount available for these resources they cannot be conserved in nature. Also with the rising population worldwide and uncontrolled use without knowing the fact that these resources cannot lead to the sustainable use of these resources.
