Answer
Hi,
Correct answer option is (B)
As Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall requested the nation’s oil and gas reserves be transferred.
Explanation
Albert Fall, being the Secretary of the Interior by then was involved in the Teapot Dome scandal leading to charges of corruption and felony while in office. Fall accepted bribes from oil companies and allowed them the rights to drill oil on a federal land. These oil reservoirs were kept aside for the U.S Navy for emergence purposes because more ships were by then converted to run on oil instead of coal.
Best Wishes!
