Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows:

Completed in 1965, Cocoa House in Ibadan stands as an iconic 26-storey skyscraper built using proceeds from the sale of agricultural commodities, particularly cocoa, by the former Western Region of Nigeria. Commissioned under the administration of the Western Region Development Corporation, the building was initially named 'Independent House' before being renamed Cocoa House to honor the farmers whose labor financed its construction. Standing at a height of 105 meters, it was once the tallest building in Tropical Africa. In January 1985, a major fire gutted the edifice, leading to a temporary closure for rehabilitation. Following extensive structural repairs, the skyscraper was formally reopened for commercial activities in August 1992, serving continuously as a commercial hub for corporate entities.

According to the passage, what primary source of revenue funded the construction of Cocoa House?

  1. A
    Direct budgetary allocations provided by the Federal Government of Nigeria following independence
  2. Proceeds derived from the sale of agricultural commodities, primarily cocoa, by the Western RegionCevap
  3. C
    Commercial rents collected from corporate tenants after the 1992 structural renovation
  4. D
    Financial aid packages granted by foreign commercial development partners in Tropical Africa

Cevap

The construction of Cocoa House was funded by proceeds derived from the sale of agricultural commodities, particularly cocoa, by the former Western Region of Nigeria.
