Nuclear energy heats water into steam that turns the turbines of a power plant

Explanation:

The other three options given are all examples of renewable energy.

Option A, Nuclear energy heats water into steam that turns the turbines of a power plant.

Explanation:

Renewable source of energy is one which can be used again and again.

some common example of renewable source of energy are - water, wind, solar etc.

While a non renewable source of energy is one which cannot be used again after its consumption for the first time.

for example - fossil fuels

Here the nuclear rods once used in nuclear energy plant can not be used again and hence, nuclear energy is a form of non renewable energy.

Hence, option A is correct
