The correct answer is B. They rely more heavily on tourism.

Pacific island countries, such as Fiji, Samoa, and Vanuatu, have economies that are largely dependent on tourism as their primary source of income and employment. This is due to the attractiveness of their natural landscapes, beaches, and cultural heritage, which draw tourists from around the world. On the other hand, Australia and New Zealand have more diverse and developed economies, with a focus on various sectors such as services, manufacturing, and agriculture. While tourism is also significant for these countries, it is not as dominant as it is for the Pacific island countries.
