Explanation:

Mineral resources include oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals. Looking at the table, Saudi Arabia's key products are oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals (which are derived from mineral - based hydrocarbons). Israel's key products are more technology - based (high - tech equipment, pharmaceuticals) and agricultural (fruits, vegetables). Turkiye's key products are a mix of textiles (not mineral - based in a direct sense), automobiles (components may have some minerals but not the mainstay), electronics (similar to Israel's high - tech), tobacco, and cotton (agricultural).

Answer:

B. Saudi Arabia
