Answer:

(C) Lumber

Step-by-step explanation:

New England was known for fishing, fur trapping, and harvesting timber. Their collecting of wood served extremely useful for them, as they created many items out of it, such as buildings and furniture. They also sent what was likely a decent portion of it back to England (the original England back in Europe) in part of what is known as the Triangular Trade.
