Question 10 • U.S. History 2026 - 3311 B

Answer
A

B
the cartel of countries controlling part of the oil market decided to increase production.
C
the cartel of countries controlling part of the oil market decided to stop production.
D
the United States cut off diplomatic relations with Iran’s government.

Explanation

The Iranian Revolution disrupted Iran’s oil production and exports in 1978–1979. Because less oil was reaching the market, supplies to the United States were disrupted and oil prices rose. This was not a decision by the oil cartel to stop production; the disruption came from the revolution in Iran.
