is
are
was
were

Explanation

Answer: B - The best choice is “are”

“Infrastructure” and “oil reserves” refer to more than one thing. Therefore, a plural form of “to be” is necessary to properly complete the sentence. “Becoming” indicates that something is presently happening and will continue to happen so “are” is the appropriate verb form to use in this sentence.
