Explanation:

Question 10

Fossil fuels are non - renewable resources. Overusing them means we are using them up at a rate faster than they can be formed, which leads to resource depletion. Option A is wrong as fossil fuels don't renew faster with overuse. Option B is wrong because overusing fossil fuels causes more pollution. Option D is wrong as overusing non - renewable resources reduces sustainability.

To reduce water use, we need to prevent water from being wasted. Fixing leaks stops water from dripping away, and refill stations can reduce the use of single - use plastic water bottles (which also saves water in production). Longer showers (A) use more water. Daily watering (C) can use a lot of water if not done efficiently. Leaving faucets on (D) wastes water.

Conservation is important for future generations because the resources we have, like fossil fuels, water (in some regions), and minerals, are limited. They won't increase automatically (so A is wrong). Human needs are more likely to increase over time (so B is wrong). Technology can help but can't fully replace nature (so D is wrong).

Answer:

C. Resource depletion
