If additional deposits of oil are found, it will expand the amount that can be used as fuel and reduce the price of oil, even if the deposits are not immediately tapped.

Only D makes sense here.

'It' does not have any reference. Eliminate A, C and E.

Oli prices will drop and will not reduce. Also 'can' is better than 'able to'

Therefore, D is best

since deposits are plural noun thus we can eliminate ACE,
we dont need passive voice thus D left
D is the answer
