Question 6 • Earth and Space Science

What pattern emerges when comparing the fuels' reserves to their annual export values?

Answer
A
Fuels with faster formation times are always the most valuable because they can be replenished in a short time.
B
Export value depends not just on reserves but also on global demand and infrastructure.
C
Fuels with smaller reserves always have higher export values because supply drives demand.
D
Fuels with smaller reserves are never economically important because demand is too low for limited supplies.

Explanation

Reserves show how much fuel is available, while annual export values also reflect how much buyers want it and whether it can be produced and transported efficiently. So a large reserve does not automatically mean a high export value, and a smaller reserve does not automatically mean a low one. The best choice is “Export value depends not just on reserves but also on global demand and infrastructure.”
