Hi!

Oil is a fossil fuel, and <em>all </em>fossil fuels are nonrenewable. So, A and B are automatically out of the equation.

We use oil faster than it can replenish. It can <em>centuries </em>for oil to form, and we simply are using it at such an excessive rate that it doesn't have time to reform time and time again.

Oil is just formed from petroleum, which is a mixture of multiple organic components. It won't just suddenly stop being formed, as it is in-fact naturally occurring.

Hopefully, this helps!

What evidence supports the theory of endosymbiosis?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The first piece of evidence that needed to be found to support the endosymbiotic hypothesis was whether or not mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and if this DNA is similar to bacterial DNA. This was later proven to be true for DNA, RNA, ribosomes, chlorophyll (for chloroplasts), and protein synthesis.
