Answer:

C. It takes much longer than a lifetime to form

Explanation:

Peat, a valuable energy source, is considered nonrenewable due to its time-consuming formation. It is a collection of decomposed plant matter that builds up in waterlogged areas, like peat bogs. Over thousands of years, layers of deceased vegetation gradually accumulate and partially break down in oxygen-deprived conditions, creating peat. Unfortunately, this slow process prevents peat from being replenished within a single human lifespan, rendering it nonrenewable in practical terms

( C. It takes much longer than a lifetime to form is correct)
