Answer:

c. Computer chips are made from silicon.

Explanation:

Non-renewable resources are natural substances that cannot be easily replenished when used. Examples are natural gas, coal, oil, nuclear energy, etc. Silicon is made when Silica is heated with carbon after which the product is reacted with hydrocarbons to polymerize them. Since the hydrocarbons are made from oil and natural gas, the resulting product is non-renewable.

Chips made from silicon are not biodegradable because to reuse them, they must be sent to companies that have specialty in renewing them.
