Answer:

Option B: it is used faster than it is made

In economic terms, energy resources are categorized into two(2) types namely:

Renewable energy resource

Non-renewable energy resource

Renewable energy resources are resources which are limitless. Example of renewable energy resources are solar, wind etc.

Non-renewable energy resources are resources that are not replaced with the same speed with which they are used up. It is the exact opposite of renewable energy resource. It is not infinite. Examples of non-renewable energy resources include crude oil, coal, uranium, natural gas etc.

So the statement, non-renewable energy resource is used up faster than it is made is true.
