B Correct answer
Explanation

Uranium is found in the Congo Basin (in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the Shaba region). This was historically significant as the uranium for the first atomic bombs came from these mines (Shinkolobwe mine). The Sahara has oil and gas, Sudan has some oil, and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) has other minerals but is not the primary uranium source.
