Which one of the following is not a natural resource?

AAir

BSoil

CWater

DElectricity

Answer:

D. Electricity

Read Explanation:

Electricity is developed by man, therefore it is a manmade or an artificial resource rather than a natural resource. A natural resource is anything that is obtained from nature such as air, water, and soil. Everything that we use nowadays from food, vehicles, cooking gas, notebooks, etc. are obtained from natural resources present on Earth. A very large portion of our energy supply is through non-renewable sources. This means that once these sources are used they can't be replenished as they take over millions of years to form. Therefore, managing these resources ensures their rational use and minimises their exploitation which will ensure their availability even in the future
