Detailed Solution

The assertion is true, but the reason is false. According to the notion of development sustainability, development should be carried out by employing the best resources available to current generations for development processes so that future generations can enjoy the same degree of development. Non-renewable resources are those which will get exhausted after years of use. Even though nature has its way of replenishing resources, these take millions of years to reform.

For instance, renewable resources include solar, wind, and so forth.
