B. Kaua‘i
C. Moloka‘i
D. Lana‘i

Answer :

D. The island of Lana'i has shifted from pineapple production to tourism. This reflects a broader economic transition in Hawai'i from agricultural reliance to tourism-based revenue.

The island of Lana'i has made a recent transition from pineapple production to tourism. Historically, pineapple and sugarcane were significant crops grown in Hawai'i from the 1850s to the 1980s, driven by various immigrant groups. Over time, the demand for these crops decreased, and Lana'i has specifically shifted its economic focus from agriculture to tourism.

Lana'i has made a recent transition from pineapple production to tourism. Pineapple and sugarcane production were vital during the plantation era in Hawai'i, with Lana'i being a significant producer of pineapples.

However, with changes in the agricultural industry, Lana'i shifted its focus to tourism to drive its economy.
