Based on your description of the photograph showing long gas station lines, the primary consequence of the OPEC oil embargo that is represented is long gas station lines. The OPEC oil embargo, which began in 1973, led to significant shortages of gasoline, resulting in long waits for drivers at fuel stations. This directly illustrates the impact of the embargo on consumer access to fuel. Other options such as gas rationing, gas pollution, and high gas prices may be related issues, but the visual representation of long lines most directly depicts the immediate consequence of the shortage created by the embargo.
