Explanation:

The passage states that when companies export mined gold, Mali's government requires them to pay a tax on each shipment, and this tax money funds government services. This matches the first option, which describes collecting taxes from private companies exporting domestic resources. The other options do not align with the passage's description of how the government earns money from exports.

Answer:

The government can collect taxes from private companies who want to export resources in their country.
