Answer 1

The correct answer is D. An oil embargo imposed by nations in the Middle East.

Step-by-step explanation

The picture shows a long line of cars outside a gas station in New York in 1973, this long line is due to the decrease in the amount of oil available in the United States due to the decision of Middle Eastern Arab countries Oil exporters to stop sending oil to countries that had supported Israel in the confrontation against Egypt. This caused gasoline rationing in the United States because of the long line of cars. According to the above, the correct answer is D. An oil embargo imposed by nations in the Middle East
