D Correct answer
Explanation

Water is a renewable resource because it can be naturally replenished through the hydrological cycle - evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Petroleum, Coal, and Natural Gas are fossil fuels that take millions of years to form and are being depleted much faster than they can be naturally renewed, making them non-renewable resources.
