Which of these is a nonrenewable resource Wind Solar energy Geothermal energy or Fossil fuels?

The only one classified as non-renewable is fossil fuels. In fact, fossil fuels are the ONLY energy resources that are classified as non-renewable, simply because we know that there must be a finite supply, however large. Similar forms of bio-energy such as peat may be considered non-renewable because of the long time frame required to replace it compared to its rate of use. So when we say "non-renewable" it means that oil cannot be created to meet future demands on human time scales.
