    The correct answer is C: Yes, as long as use doesn't exceed availability.

    Explanation:

    Non - renewable resources cannot be used permanently, but these resources can be used sustain-ably over a period of time to meet their needs. The reason is that these non-renewable resources such as oil, gas, and fossil fuels, are being used at a larger rate, but their production is quite slow beneath the earth surface.

    Therefore on the surface, it is not possible to use them sustain-ably except exceeding the limit as they are running out.

    For example, in 19th-century whale oil was used to meet the energy needs, but gradually this species became distinct, and its population couldn't be protected and restored by human beings.
