Answer is B.) nonrenewable only

Nuclear energy is usually considered as renewable energy. But the material which used in the nuclear power plants is non-renewable resource. A rare type of a uranium which is U-235 is used nuclear power plants. This element is a non-renewable resource. Nuclear energy from uranium is released through a process called nuclear fission. In the nuclear fission the nucleus of a uranium atom splits to give energy.
