The correct answer is B) it does not produce enough to meet its own demands.
The United States depends on importing oil because it does not produce enough to meet its own demands.
The United States indeed produces oil. There are oil fields in southeast regions such as Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texans. The problem is that the United States is one of the countries in the world that consumes more oil and need to import it from different countries such as the United Arab Emirates, a strategical partner, and other Middle East countries.
However, most of the oil imported by the United States also comes from its eternal ally, México. México produces impressive numbers of oil barrels because México has great oil deposits in the southeast portion of its territory, in states such as Campeche and Tabasco.
