Which of the following statements about resource use is true?
a. the use of renewable resources has no inherent costs.
b. resource use, whether renewable or nonrenewable, must be carefully managed to reduce the impact on the environment.
c. nonrenewable resources are used for energy, because there are no renewable resources that can be used as a source of energy.
d. the overuse of nonrenewable resources is less environmentally damaging than the overuse of renewable resources.

The statement that is considered true out of the following choices is letter B: Resource use, whether renewable or nonrenewable, must be carefully managed to reduce the impact on the environment. We need to take care and use our resources wisely because we do not know until when it lasts.

The correct answer is - b. resource use, whether renewable or nonrenewable, must be carefully managed to reduce the impact on the environment.

Both of the types of resources can be with positive and negative traits.

The nonrenewable are cheaper, need much less space to be extracted/produced, but on the other hand, they are damaging the environment and also are getting less and less in total reserves.

The renewable ones are still more expensive as an investment, though on the long term they are more beneficial, they occupy much more space for production which means that a very careful approach is needed so that the environment is not damaged, and also they produce less in the same amount of space.
