"Printing and cursive" is the best choice. They are two clearly related but distinct methods of handwriting, so you can compare features (appearance, legibility, speed), learning difficulty, uses, and history/decline.

Why not the others:
- "Tests and exams" are essentially the same thing, so there's little meaningful contrast.
- "Pens and ink" are not parallel (one is a tool, the other a substance) so comparison is awkward.
- "Papers and pencils" mix a medium and a tool, making direct, balanced comparison harder.
