Answer
A
exploration for new sources of energy
B
creation of the Department of Energy
C
production of energy-efficient automobiles
D
reduction of prices people paid for gasoline
E
establishment of an automobile speed limit nationally

Explanation

The oil crises caused fuel shortages and sharp price increases, prompting the United States to seek new energy sources and create the Department of Energy in 1977. Automakers also began producing more fuel-efficient cars, while the federal government established a nationwide 55-mile-per-hour speed limit to conserve gasoline. Gasoline prices did not fall as a result of the crises, so the reduction in prices is not one of the correct choices.
