Option 1, Algeria, is a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). OPEC is an international organization consisting of 13 oil-producing countries. Algeria is one of these member countries and plays a role in the organization`s decisions and activities.

Option 3, Ecuador, is also a member of OPEC. Ecuador joined OPEC in 1973 and is an important oil-producing country in South America.

Option 4, Nigeria, is another member of OPEC. Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers in Africa and has been a member of OPEC since 1971.

However, Option 2, Brazil, is not a member of OPEC. Brazil is a significant player in the global oil industry, but it is not part of OPEC. Brazil is a major non-OPEC oil producer, and its oil industry is managed by the Brazilian government.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2, Brazil. It is the only option that is not a member of OPEC. Alert - correct answer should be: 2
