    C. Gallons of oil were spilled across land and water.

    Explanation:

    Amid the 1991 war, devastating damage was done to the oil business in Kuwait. Iraqi powers wrecked in excess of seven hundred oil wells in Kuwait, spilling sixty million barrels of oil. More than ten million cubic meters of soil was as yet tainted as late as 1998.

    A noteworthy groundwater aquifer, two-fifths of Kuwait's whole freshwater save, stays sullied right up 'till today. Ten million barrels oil were discharged into the Gulf, influencing coastline along 1500 km and costing more than $700 million to tidy up. Amid the nine months that the wells consumed, normal air temperatures fell by 10 degrees C because of diminished light from the sun. The expenses of ecological harm were evaluated at $40 billion.
