Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Tourism development depends on attractions (wildlife, culture, scenery), safety, and infrastructure (accommodation, transport). The volume of crude oil produced is an indicator of the petroleum industry and has no direct bearing on tourism development. All other options are recognised determinants of a thriving tourism sector.
