The correct answer is D. Mica.
Natural gas, coal, and petroleum are all fossil fuels, which are hydrocarbons that formed from the remains of ancient organisms. Mica is a mineral that is not a hydrocarbon.
Natural gas is a naturally occurring gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other gases, such as ethane, propane, butane, and carbon dioxide. It is found in deep underground natural gas reservoirs, often associated with petroleum. Natural gas is a non-renewable energy source and is considered a fossil fuel.
Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient plants that have been subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. Coal is a non-renewable energy source and is considered a fossil fuel.
Petroleum is a naturally occurring liquid hydrocarbon found in geological formations beneath the Earth’s surface. It is a non-renewable energy source and is considered a fossil fuel.
Mica is a group of minerals that are composed of sheet silicates. Mica is a common mineral and is found in many different types of rocks. Mica is a non-metallic mineral and is not a hydrocarbon.
