Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The resources which can be renewed or reproduced by physical, chemical, or mechanical processes are known as renewable or replenishable resources. When resource recovery rates are unlikely to exceed the human timescale, they are called persistent resources. Renewable resources are part of the Earth's natural environment and are the largest component of its biosphere. Positive ecological balance is an important indicator of resource sustainability. Renewable resources include energy from biomass (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal energy, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic matter from plants and animals. These include wood, sewage, and ethanol (derived from corn or other plants).
