National and global energy resources

Question

A. They are cheaper to produce
B. They do not produce any waste
C. They can be replenished naturally
D. They are more efficient in energy conversion

Answer

They can be replenished naturally

Explanation

The correct option is "They can be replenished naturally". They can be replenished naturally is right because it directly matches Energy resources: Define a renewable energy resource as one that is being replenished or can be replenished as it is used.. The other options are less suitable because they change the required Physics relationship, confuse the relevant energy store or use a distractor that does not answer the question.

Common mistake

Misunderstanding Renewable Resources

Students often confuse renewable energy resources with non-renewable ones, thinking that all energy sources can be replenished.

Remember that renewable energy resources are specifically those that are being replenished or can be replenished as they are used, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
