Which of the following best describes the use of a non-renewable resource?

Nuclear energy heats water into steam that turns the turbines of a power plant.

Water falls through openings in a dam turning turbine blades that generate electricity.

Wind turbines gather energy from the wind and convert it into electrical energy.

The electronic signs along the highway are run by solar power.

Option A, Nuclear energy heats water into steam that turns the turbines of a power plant.

Explanation:

Renewable source of energy is one which can be used again and again.

some common example of renewable source of energy are - water, wind, solar etc.

While a non renewable source of energy is one which cannot be used again after its consumption for the first time.

for example - fossil fuels

Here the nuclear rods once used in nuclear energy plant can not be used again and hence, nuclear energy is a form of non renewable energy.

Hence, option A is correct

Nuclear energy heats water into steam that turns the turbines of a power plant

Explanation:

The other three options given are all examples of renewable energy.
