Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are goods derived from forests other than timber, including fruits, nuts, resins, and oils. Shea butter is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree and is a classic NTFP. Plywood, charcoal from hardwood, and sawdust board are all derived from the wood (timber) component of trees.
