Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Russia

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Russia šŸ“š Explanation: Following changes in global energy trade dynamics during the 2022ā€“2024 period, Russia emerged as the largest supplier of crude oil to India, offering discounted crudes. This significantly altered India's traditional import reliance on Middle Eastern nations. India imports roughly 80-85% of its total crude oil requirements to meet domestic transport and energy demands. This strategic trade pivot helped the country manage its import costs and maintain inflation stability.
