Explanation

The correct answer is Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. These two West African nations consistently dominate global cocoa production. Côte d'Ivoire is the world's largest producer, followed closely by Ghana. Together, they account for over 60% of the world's cocoa beans, which are the primary ingredient in chocolate. The other options consist of countries known for other resources or different agricultural products, not significant cocoa production.
