- B.
  
  Ozone
- C.
  
  Carbon Dioxide
- D.

- E.

Correct Answer
C. Carbon Dioxide

Explanation
When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide (CO2) as a greenhouse gas. CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contributing to global warming. The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, in power plants, vehicles, and industries is a major source of CO2 emissions. These emissions have led to an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and climate change.

Which of the following is NOT a source of renewable energy?
- A.
  
  Natural Gas
- B.
  
  Wind Power
- C.
  
  Biomass
- D.
  
  Solar Power
- E.
  
  Hydropower
Correct Answer
A. Natural Gas

Explanation
Natural gas is not a source of renewable energy because it is a fossil fuel that is formed over millions of years from the remains of plants and animals. Once natural gas is extracted and burned, it releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, are derived from natural processes that are constantly replenished, such as wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower. These sources do not deplete natural resources and have minimal environmental impact compared to fossil fuels.
