B. oil

During the 1970s, when the United States supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) implemented an oil embargo against countries seen as supporting Israel, including the United States.

This led to a significant reduction in oil supplies to the U.S. and contributed to the energy crisis of that period.

The embargo had a substantial impact on the global oil market and highlighted the geopolitical implications of oil dependency.
