Expert Solution
Step 1: See the various sources ,from where they are obtained, what is their origin and how they are formed.

The sources of energy that can be used forever and in unlimited amounts are:

d) Nuclear
e) Solar
f) Wind
g) Hydroelectric
h) Geothermal

These sources are considered renewable and have the potential to provide energy indefinitely, as long as they are harnessed responsibly and sustainably.
