Reservoir levels have increased.
C
Fossil fuels always cost more than renewable energy.
D
We can rely only on what already exists.

Explanation

Nonrenewable energy sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, take millions of years to form and cannot be replaced quickly once used. This means we can rely only on the supplies that already exist. Choice D describes this limitation; the other choices do not identify a general problem with nonrenewable energy.
