Answer 1

D. Kuwait trades oil for technology with the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the best answer since oil is a very useful commodity other countries will trade other resources like technology for it.

C. is incorrect because this isn't using oil as a strategic commodity. this is just using force to get what they want.

A. is incorrect because it clearly doesn't mention trading oil.

B. is incorrect because it's not using oil strategically. Trading oil for other resources that we need is strategic.

So that leaves D which is correct.
