Multiple Choice

Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
In 2010, geologists working for the U.S. military operations in Afghanistan discovered a literal treasure -trove of mineral deposits with a preliminary estimated value at nearly $1 trillion U.S. dollars. So far, no proposals have been made for extracting these resources, but already parallels have been drawn to the many dimensions of human rights issues that have plagued coltan production in the Congo, oil drilling in Nigeria, and the ʺblood diamondsʺ of Sierra Leone. Also, keep in mind the events surrounding the record-breaking oil spill resulting from the explosion and sinking of BPʹs Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, also in the same year. In this latter event, BP made unprecedented pledges of support for the staggering costs of the Gulf cleanup, under intense pressure from the Obama administration, since the nation suffering the damage was the United States.
