Answer:

The correct answer is - A) nuclear.

Explanation:

Most of the non-renewable sources of energy are fossil fuels that are formed by the thermal decomposition of dead organic matter for million years and are converted to lighter hydrocarbons that contain high electrostatic potential energy.

Burning is the process that breaks the hydrocarbons into water vapor and CO2 with high amount of energy. Coal, natural gas and biofuels all three are fossil fuels and nuclear products are not fossil fuel but radioactive elements.
