Answer:

B.Russia

Step-by-step explanation:

Russian industry is divided into two blocks: one with large producers of raw materials, which have global competitiveness - in 2012 Russia was the world's leading exporter of oil and natural gas, as well as the world's third largest exporter of steel and raw aluminum - and another with other heavy industries. This dependence on the export of raw materials, although benefited, leaves the country vulnerable to volatile cycles of high and low international prices of these products.
