D. access to oil fields
The presence of large oil reserves in some countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa has significantly boosted their economies and per capita GDP. Countries with access to oil fields, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, have a much higher per capita GDP compared to those without significant oil resources. Oil exports provide these countries with substantial revenue and contribute to their economic development.
