Hint: Wheat is a very important crop that is almost consumed in every part of the world.The country which is the 5th largest producer of wheat in the world and the only exporter of wheat in Europe is also the country with the world's second-largest agricultural exporters.

Complete answer:
England: This country is not the leading producer of wheat in Europe , it’s production remains limited and only exports small quantities of low standard wheat. Although wheat being an important crop in the country , it’s demands are met by exporting it from countries ,like France.
France: France is the biggest producer of wheat in Europe and is a common crop cultivated all around the country. The cultivation takes place mostly in the Northern part of France. The part of France producing the highest amounts of wheat is the Centre-Val de Loire region.(representing 16% of France's complete wheat yield)
Norway: Norway’s major exported goods include petroleum and petroleum products, metals, chemicals, and fish and does not include wheat in it. It is an oil-exporting nation. The climate in this region also results in its meagre production of wheat.
Netherlands : Netherlands is a significant agricultural product exporter country. However ,it exports crops like cucumbers , apples , chilis , tomatoes. It is not able to produce wheat as much as France. Their exports mainly revolve around flowers and fresh cut plants.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Note: The French province of Centre-Val de Loire is the main wheat manufacturing area in the nation (representing 16% of France's complete wheat yield) followed by Picardie (representing 10% of France's wheat yield). Winter wheat constitutes the principal variety of wheat produced in France.
