Why does oil contribute more to global economic development than peat, even though both are nonrenewable fuels?

Oil is produced and traded on a much larger scale than peat, and it is a major fuel for transportation and industry. Its high production and export value links it closely to national economies and global trade. Peat is also nonrenewable, but it plays a much smaller role in the global economy, so choice A is correct.
