Explanation

The correct option is B because of the specific geographic distribution of these timber species. Cedar is commonly associated with Mexico and the Mediterranean regions. Douglas Fir is a major commercial timber species native to western North America, particularly abundant in Canada. Mahogany is famously sourced from Central American countries, including Honduras, which is known for high quality mahogany wood. Teak is a tropical hardwood tree native to Southeast Asia, with Myanmar being the worlds leading producer of natural teak. Therefore, the correct matching is Cedar with Mexico, Douglas Fir with Canada, Mahogany with Honduras, and Teak with Myanmar.
