Why Revenue from subsurface resources to be shared among all regional corporations Is Correct

Answer B: Revenue from subsurface resources to be shared among all regional corporations

ANCSA Section 7(i) requires that 70% of revenues from subsurface resources (timber, oil, gas, minerals) be shared among all 12 regional corporations, with 50% of the shared amount then distributed to village corporations. This revenue-sharing provision recognizes that subsurface resources are distributed unequally.
