The correct answer is D. The presence of oil.

Explanation

Oil extraction is an economic activity in which this natural resource is extracted from the earth and sold to be used as a raw material in different products such as gasoline. In the Middle East, the extraction of this resource is controlled by wealthy families who control not only the economy but in some cases, politics, which allows them to use the resources obtained from this business for their benefit. An example of this is in the percentage of the profits they obtain is around 91%, while the rest of the population obtains 9%, causing the gap between the poor and the rich to widen and thus there is inequality. So, the correct answer is D. The presence of oil.
