Which country is NOT listed as an OPEC member in the material?

• A. Nigeria
• B. Gabon
• C. Canada
• D. Indonesia

Answer: (C)

OPEC membership means belonging to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, an alliance of oil-producing nations that coordinates production and policy decisions. The material lists countries that are part of that group, so the countries shown are those considered OPEC members in that context. Canada, while a major oil producer, is not part of OPEC and does not belong to that alliance, so it would not appear on a list of OPEC members. Membership has changed over time with some countries joining or leaving, but Canada has never been a member, which is why it is the country not listed.
