The correct response is:

A renewable resource can be replaced in the near future, and a nonrenewable resource cannot be replaced for many lifetimes.

Renewable resources, like solar or wind energy, can be replenished naturally over a short period of time, while nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels or minerals, are finite and take millions of years to form.
