Answer

B

Explanation

Depending upon the abundance and availability, the natural resources are classified into two categories - inexhaustible and exhaustible. Examples of inexhaustible resources are air, clay and fungi. Excessive use of renewable resources makes them non-renewable, e.g- underground water, forests and wildlife are renewable resources but can become non-renewable if they are not used properly and carefully.
