D) Wind comes from atmospheric conditions that are available indefinitely.

Explanation:

Renewable energy is the name given to energy that is generated from resources that naturally exist in nature and that are replenished indefinitely, that is, the existence of these resources in nature is maintained by nature itself through indefinite factors, allowing the "stock" of these resources is constantly renewed and they do not have a limited quantity.

An example of this is wind energy. This is because the wind comes from atmospheric conditions that are available indefinitely.
