I'm voting for E) Coconut oil, just to see the look on the examiner's face. Gotta keep them on their toes, you know?

A) Linseed oil? Really? That's quite a stretch. This has to be about palm oil, the real culprit behind the deforestation in Indonesia.

D) Palm oil, of course! Everyone knows about the controversy surrounding palm oil and its impact on the environment. I'm surprised this is even a question.

Hmm, I was considering B) Crude oil, but that doesn't seem quite right. The question is specifically about an oil crop, not a fossil fuel.

I think the answer is D) Palm oil. The clearing of rainforests in Indonesia is mainly for the production of palm oil, which has become a widely used oil crop.
