Which item is Oleoresin?

Explanation:
An oleoresin is a resin that contains essential oil, meaning it’s a resin plus a volatile oil that gives aroma and a more fluid feel. Balsam copaiba fits this description best because it’s the resinous exudate from Copaifera trees that includes copaiba oil, so it’s inherently aromatic and oily. The other options are resins without a significant essential oil fraction, so they’re not classified as oleoresins.
