- ASolar
- BWind
- CNuclear
- DHydroelectric
Explanation
Renewable energy sources are those that are naturally replenished: solar energy from the Sun, wind energy, and hydroelectric energy from the water cycle. Nuclear energy depends on uranium, a finite mineral fuel that is consumed and not replenished on human timescales, so it is classified as non-renewable. Hence nuclear is not a renewable energy source.
