    Saudi Arabia feared an Iraqi invasion because Iraq invaded nearby Kuwait for its oil and Saudi Arabia. Option A is correct.

    Kuwait was reluctant to decrease its oil production and that refusal was considered by Iraq as an act of aggression against it.

    Later on, by annexing Kuwait, Iraq took control of 20 percent of the world's oil reserves as well as of a substantial coastline on the Persian Gulf.
