It is a fact that petroleum resources will soon start dwindling because

A.	Of the rapid increase of deforestation	B.	the rate of population growth is quite high
C.	they are non-renewable	D.	the automobiles are consuming more and more fuel
E.	of the rapid increase in the number of vehicles

Answer and Explanation

Answer:they are non-renewable

Explanation:
Option 1 and 2 can be eliminated straightaway as deforestation or population growth have no relation with the dwindling petroleum resources. Option (4) and 3 could be likely options because it seems correct to assume that since automobiles' are increasing rapidly and are consuming more and more petrol there would be a shortage. However, option 3 is the best fit as it clearly states that petroleum resources cannot be replenished. This adequately explains why petroleum resources will start dwindling.
