    Answer: Option D. Uranium is mined from rock.

    Reason:

    Energy sources falls into following two categories

    (i) nonrenewable and

    (ii) renewable.

    Nonrenewable energy resources includes nuclear, coal, oil, and natural gas. These sources of energies are available in limited supplies. This is because it takes long for them to be replenished. On other hand, renewable resources are replenished at relatively short periods of time. These includes wood, water, solar energy and biomass.

    Thus, among the available options, Uranium is a non-renewable source of energy.
