It's been several years since I studied this, I found 4 resources listed in an economics textbook that I have lying around; it doesn't say how they are paid but I'll do my best to answer based on what I remember:

Land: This includes all natural resources; payment I believe is called rent

Capital: Goods that are produced that are in turn used to produce other goods. I'm not sure what payment is called, I can't find it listed anywhere. I know that for many kinds of capital, depreciation may be considered a payment.

Labor: Payment is called wages.

Entrepreneurship: A specialized type of labor involving innovation and risk taking. I believe the payment is called profit, I'm not sure.
