The correct answer is (C):

The US imports much of its petroleum from foreign countries which set the prices.

The explanation:

1 - United States is is having a high usage of fossil fuels.

2 - They don't have the resources for that.

3 - So, they import fossil fuel from gulf regions, which is very far from United States.
