d.people are paid money to do jobs

Explanation:

All are examples of the natural resources which involve the use of the freshwater the coal and the soil which itself is natural resources and hence the nature and the quality of the resources depend on the lands a how they are used by the mankind. While being paid for a job is not a natural resource in any sense as the money is paid items of the tasks done and the resources are valuable resources that are beyond something that money can buy and thus they are non-renewable resources on earth.
