Explanation:

The ocean contains water, and water is listed as a renewable resource (renewable resources replenish themselves). The ocean's water is part of the water cycle, so the ocean is a renewable resource. The option "It is not a resource" is incorrect as the ocean provides many resources. "Nonrenewable resource" is incorrect as nonrenewable resources (like coal, oil) don't replenish quickly, while the ocean's water does.

Answer:

Renewable resource (the option with text "Renewable resource")
