Which option correctly lists natural resources important to Canada's economy and identifies a prominent resource for Alberta?
Correct Answer:
Oil, natural gas, timber; Alberta's prominent resource is oil and gas.
Explanation:
Canada’s economy relies heavily on natural resources, especially energy and forestry. Oil and natural gas are central to the country’s energy sector and exports, while timber fuels a large forestry industry that supplies lumber, paper, and other products. Alberta stands out for its oil and gas production, with the oil sands playing a major role in the province’s economy. So, listing oil, natural gas, and timber as important resources for Canada, and identifying oil and gas as Alberta’s prominent resource, fits the real economic picture. The other options mix resources that aren’t as central to Canada’s overall economy or misstate Alberta’s main resource (such as solar energy or fish).
