Question

A. A decrease in usage due to high costs.
B. An increase in usage as technology improves.
C. No significant change in usage.
D. A shift from renewable to non-renewable resources.

Answer

An increase in usage as technology improves.

Explanation

The correct option is "An increase in usage as technology improves.". An increase in usage as technology improves. is right because it directly matches Energy resources: Explain patterns and trends in energy-resource use from data.. 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

Misinterpreting Data Trends

Students often confuse short-term fluctuations in energy resource use with long-term trends, leading to incorrect conclusions about energy patterns.

Focus on identifying consistent patterns over a longer period in the data, rather than reacting to short-term changes.
