Which of the following are examples of renewable resources?

Renewable resources are energy and material sources that naturally replenish at a rate equal to or faster than their consumption. Hydro-electric power (utilizing flowing water) and wind power (harnessing wind currents via wind turbines) are infinitely naturally replenished energy sources critical to sustainable procurement policies.

Option B is incorrect because coal is a non-renewable fossil fuel formed over millions of years that depletes permanently upon extraction and burning.

Option C is incorrect because oil is a finite, non-renewable hydrocarbon resource that cannot be naturally replenished within a human timescale.
