Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

Utrania was formerly a major petroleum exporter, but in recent decades economic stagnation and restrictive regulations inhibited investment in new oil fields.  In consequence, Utranian oil exports dropped steadily as old fields became depleted.  Utrania's currently improving economic situation, together with less-restrictive regulations, will undoubtedly result in the rapid development of new fields.  However, it would be premature to conclude that the rapid development of new fields will result in higher oil exports, because __________.

(A) the price of oil is expected to remain relatively stable over the next several years
(B) the improvement in the economic situation in Utrania is expected to result in a dramatic increase in the proportion of Utranians who own automobiles
(C) most of the investment in new oil fields in Utrania is expected to come from foreign sources
(D) new technology is available to recover oil from old oil fields formerly regarded as depleted
(E) many of the new oil fields in Utrania are likely to be as productive as those that were developed during the period when Utrania was a major oil exporter

这个题答案是B，不理解， automobiles不是无关选项吗？有什么逻辑关联？

望指教！！！谢谢

U这个国家以前是出口油的，但是后来经济停止，限制性的法律限制了新的油田的发掘，所以出口量下降了。现在U这个国家开始促进经济发展，限制性法令减少，肯定会导致新油田的快速发展。但是文章的结论是，这并不能说明新油田的发展会增加油的出口。

B说经济增长，汽车会增加，因此油的内需会增加，解释了文章的结论

因此是答案。
