The correct answer to this question would be alternative B)"The oil fields would enable Germany to fuel their air forces, making them harder to defeat."

During its expansion, Germany had conquered a lot of territory, but they didn't make it to the Arab Peninsula. Had they made it there, it would be possible for them to be self sufficient when it comes to oil, which would have made them harder to defeat.
