The correct answer is A.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ranks the second in the list of the most wealthy countries in the Arab World, after Saudi Arabia. Even tough the Emirates are diversifying their economy (more than other Arab oil producing countries), its income and wealth is still extremely dependent on oil revenues. UAE is a member of the OPEC. Luxurious turism is the main non-oil based source of income for the country.
