What was the mega-company created by the Rothschilds' British merger named?

• A. Roxana Petroleum
• B. Shell Transport
• C. Anglo-Persian Oil Company
• D. Asiatic Petroleum Company

Answer: (D)

Mergers and joint ventures in the early oil industry created massive, region-spanning companies, with financiers like the Rothschilds helping to knit together British interests and continental producers. The British merger they backed produced a large vehicle for Asian oil markets, named the Asiatic Petroleum Company. It served as the British arm of the Royal Dutch–Shell arrangement, expanding distribution and control across Asia and contributing to the rise of the global oil majors. The other options refer to different oil ventures or formations not tied to that particular merger.
