Why this is the answer

From the official Discover Canada study guide — 9.4.1 Resource Industries Region by Region:

Pictures of the Canadian economy show just how varied it is. In southern Alberta, oil pumpjacks draw energy out of the ground. On the Atlantic coast, lobster is a famous catch of the fishing industry. In Quebec, a hydro-electric dam on the Saguenay River turns river water into electric power. On the highways, lumber trucks haul timber for the forestry industry. Each of these belongs to a different natural resource sector, and each one belongs to a different corner of the country.
