Answer 1

The most appropriate response to explain the large difference in the per capita GDP of countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa would be:

D access to oil fields

Countries in this region, particularly those with significant oil reserves, tend to have higher per capita GDP due to the wealth generated from oil production and exports. In contrast, countries without such resources may not have the same economic advantages, leading to lower per capita income levels.
