原文如下:
It seems likely that Teotihuacán’s natural resources, along with the city
elite’s ability to recognize their potential, gave the city a competitive
edge over its neighbors. The valley, like many other places in Mexican and
Guatemalan highlands, was rich in obsidian. The hard volcanic stone was a
resource that had been in great demand for many years, at least since the
rise of the Olmecs (a people who flourished between 1200 and 400 B.C.), and
it apparently had a secure market. Moreover, recent research on obsidian
tools found at Olmec sites has shown that some of the obsidian obtained by
the Olmecs originated near Teotihuacán. Teotihuacán obsidian must have been
recognized as a valuable commodity for many centuries before the great city
arose.
題目
Which of the following allowed Teotihuacán to have “a competitive edge over
its neighbors”?
選項
A A well-exploited and readily available commodity
B The presence of a highly stable elite class
C Knowledge derived directly from the Olmecs about the art of toolmaking
D Scarce natural resources in nearby areas such as those located in what are
now the Guatemalan and Mexican highlands
答案是A
不過覺得D也對
請問有大神能夠將D選項拆成幾個句子嗎?
另外,請問D選項中的such as 是like的意思嗎?
看了考滿分跟其他網站的解答依然不懂
先謝謝大家了Orz

原文沒有提到那個o什麼的是scarce的吧?原文說Teo這個地方rich in o這個東西 然後由於volcanic stone 的high demand 所以blablabla但從頭到尾沒看到o這個東西是稀少的 只說他在Teo很多 Teo也懂得利用他
