Explanation:

First Question

Non - renewable resources are those that cannot be replenished in a short period. Solar energy is renewable as the sun will continue to provide energy. Water can be replenished through the water cycle. Lumber can be replanted and regrown. Coal is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years and is non - renewable.

The demand for agricultural products is inelastic, not elastic. The demand for most crops is relatively stable, not sharply declining. Farmers do receive government subsidies for many crops. The high startup and operating costs for large - scale farming make it a problem for farmers when producing very large crops.

Answer:

D. Coal
