    The correct answer is C) 150,000 board feet.

    Explanation:

    In order to meet domestic demand, Norway must import the goods produced in other countries, which means that there is no price increase due to the shortage of the good.

    If Norway only produces 50,000 board feets and the demand is 200,000, then it will be forced to introduce the missing amount that comes from other countries.
