Which of the following is NOT a renewable energy source?

  1. Solar

  2. Wind

  3. Hydroelectric

  4. Fossil Fuels


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable energy sources because they are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals and take millions of years to replenish.

The term (PV) stands for what in the context of renewable energy?

  1. Photovoltaic

  2. Photovoltaic Cell

  3. Photovoltaic System

  4. Photovoltaic Panel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
