C
Limestone and coffee are both nonrenewable resources.
D
Limestone and coffee are both renewable resources.

Explanation

Limestone forms from minerals through geological processes that take a very long time, so it is nonrenewable on a human timescale. Coffee comes from plant seeds and can be grown again, making it renewable. Therefore, the best comparison is that limestone is nonrenewable and coffee is renewable.
