Explanation:

The passage presents a proposal about transportation and dependence on foreign oil. The tone is not informal (A is wrong). There's no indication of being dismissive (B is wrong). There's no lack of support in the content (C is wrong). The mention of "many fools" makes the tone confusing as it's an odd and jarring statement in the context of discussing transportation solutions.

D. It's confusing
