b. the united states began searching for ways to reduce the amount of oil it imported.
c. dozens of countries gave up membership in free trade organizations like the wto.
d. the u.s. military was forced to withdraw its support forces from israel.

Explanation:

The 1970s oil crisis led to high oil prices and supply disruptions. As a result, the U.S. (which was a major oil - importing country) started looking for ways to reduce its oil imports. This included initiatives like increasing domestic oil production, promoting energy conservation, and exploring alternative energy sources.

• Option A: International carbon - emission - limiting treaties like the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and Paris Agreement (2015) came much later than the 1970s oil crisis.
• Option C: The WTO (World Trade Organization) was established in 1995, long after the 1970s oil crisis.
• Option D: The U.S. has been a long - time supporter of Israel, and there was no such withdrawal of support forces due to the 1970s oil crisis.

Answer:

B. The United States began searching for ways to reduce the amount of oil it imported.
