Every region in Texas
B
Gulf Coastal Plains, North Central Plains and Great Plains
C
Only the Gulf Coastal Plains
D
Texas does not have oil and natural gas
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Plains region contains extensive oil and gas resources, specifically from the Hugoton-Panoma gas fields across the northern end of the region and the Permian Basin in Texas.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Plains is the grasslands of the central United States, but precise delineation of this region has evaded agreement due to the transition between Great Plains grasslands and forests of the eastern United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -Georgia’s Coastal Plain is rich in phosphate deposits, as well as limestone, kaolin, fuller’s earth, and some bauxite. Fuller’s earth is a naturally occurring clay that is effective at absorbing oil and dirt. Historically, fuller’s earth was used to clean woolen cloth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sand and gravel, limestone for cement, crushed stone, and clay are mined throughout the region. Coastal Plain clays include fire clay, ball clay, kaolin, and bentonite. Fire clay is used in the production of refractory brick, and ball clay is used to produce ceramic products.
