The correct choice is:

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

This accurately defines the difference between renewable resources, which can be replenished naturally over short time frames (like solar energy, wind, and timber), and non-renewable resources, which exist in finite amounts and take a long time to form, making them difficult or impossible to replace (like fossil fuels and minerals).
