The table below shows Harrison's list of which natural resources are used to make four different containers. If Harrison was looking for a container made from only renewable resources, what container should he use?

• Either the paper cup or the plastic bottle, because they both come from renewable resources
• Either the glass bottle or the aluminum cup, because they both come from renewable resources
• The paper cup, because it is the only container that comes from a renewable resource
