  Petroleum

  Copper
- C.

Correct Answer
B. Copper

Explanation
Copper is not a key product because it is a natural resource rather than a finished product. Petroleum, fishing, forestry, and tourism are all industries that involve the extraction, production, or promotion of specific products or services. Copper, on the other hand, is a mineral that is extracted from the earth and then processed into various forms for use in different industries. It is not considered a key product in the same way as the other options listed.

Additionally, Juneau is located in the southeastern part of Alaska and is known for its stunning natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities.
