Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
The Benue Trough is a major sedimentary basin that contains significant deposits of coal (notably at Enugu and Okaba), limestone, and other minerals. It is not an oil-producing region, does not serve as a watershed between the two rivers, and does not form the international boundary with Cameroon.
