      • Example - solar and wind energy.
    2. Non-renewable resources: 
      • Non-renewable resources are those which have a limited stock.

      • Example - The petroleum and the natural gas which is obtained from the Mumbai High Fields and West Asia.
    2. Potential Resources:
      • Potential resources are resources which exist in a region and which can be used in the future and whose entity quantity may not be known.
      • Example - The uranium found in Ladakh is potential resource that could be used in the future.

Hence, we can conclude that the correct matching of different resources and their characteristics is:

A. Non-renewable Resources (iv)  have limited stock
B.  Actual Resources (ii)  whose quantity is known
C.  Renewable Resources (i)  get renewed or replenished quickly

Related Questions

Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.
Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
