a.
Greater demand combined with shrinking supplies raises competition for limited resources, which can provoke diplomatic tensions, economic coercion, or even armed conflict. Options b and c are not generally correct: dependence doesn't necessarily cause more countries to become oil producers, and rising dependence normally pushes prices up rather than down, so (d) is not correct.
