British Dutch emerged from which two companies?

British Dutch emerged from which two companies?

• A. ExxonMobil and BP
• B. Amoco and Chevron
• C. Continental Oil and Shell Transport
• D. Shell Transport and Royal Dutch

Answer: (D)

This question tests knowledge of the origins of the oil company known as Royal Dutch Shell. It was formed in 1907 by the merger of two firms: the Dutch Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and the British Shell Transport and Trading Company. The joining of these two created a single Dutch-British corporation that grew into one of the world’s largest oil groups. The other options involve different company pairings that did not contribute to this British-Dutch merger, so the correct pairing is Shell Transport and Trading Company with Royal Dutch Petroleum Company.
