Explanation:

Renewable resources can be replenished naturally in a relatively short - time. Non - renewable resources like coal take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished quickly. Palm oil from palm trees, solar energy, and wood from trees are renewable or sustainable in some sense. Mining coal by blowing up mountaintops is a way to obtain a non - renewable energy resource.

Answer:

D. Mountaintops are blown up to mine coal.
