If all five parcels of land are not the same, the relationship between food and timber produced is likely to be nonlinear and inverse. This is because as one resource is increased (e.g. food production), the other resource is likely to decrease (e.g. timber production) due to the competition for resources on different parcels of land. However, this relationship is unlikely to be perfectly linear as there may be other factors that influence the production of both resources. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
