It should be D. A particular reason made domestic prices of petrol and diesel unchanged, while the crude oil price in increased in the international market for another reason.

Answer should be D. Petrol prices remaining unchanged cannot be the cause, it is an effect for sure.

Agree it should be D as the price is the effect of supply (the cause) , in this case the cause "supply" is different domestically & internationally.
