All of the statements are true except for the second statement, "Scandinavia is noted for its hardwood timber," which is incorrect. While Scandinavia is indeed known for its timber industry, the majority of the trees grown in the region are softwoods, such as spruce, pine, and fir, rather than hardwoods. Softwoods are commonly used for construction, paper, and other industrial applications, while hardwoods are typically used for furniture, flooring, and decorative purposes. Therefore, the correct answer is B, "Scandinavia is noted for its hardwood timber," as it is the only statement that is incorrect.
