Which of the following is not one of the non conventional sources of energy?
Coal
Coal is correct.
Non-conventional sources of energy are renewable sources that are replenished by nature, such as solar, wind, tidal, geothermal and biomass energy. Their large-scale use is relatively recent.
Coal is a fossil fuel formed from plant remains buried over millions of years. It is exhaustible and has been used on a large scale for a long time, so it is a conventional source of energy, along with petroleum and natural gas.
Solar, wind and tidal energy are therefore non-conventional, while coal is not.
