The correct option is A.
Debate has been ongoing since 1977 as to whether to drill oil in the ANWR or not. The oil merchants of the United States and some of its government officials want the refuge to be drilled for oil while many powerful environmental organisations, which stand for the people of the United States object to this idea. The refuge is one of the few true wilderness which still exist in America and it is home to many species of animal. Drilling oil in this location will throw the ecosystem into a great imbalance.
