• A. End of 1944 pipeline share
• B. 1971 price controls
• C. First presidential energy speech in 1973
• D. October 1973 embargo

Answer: (D)

This question tests your ability to place events in chronological order by date. The end of 1944 pipeline share happened in 1944, far earlier than the others. Price controls were set in 1971. The first presidential energy speech in 1973 occurred sometime in 1973, earlier in the year. The October 1973 embargo took place in October of 1973, which is after the 1973 energy speech and after the 1971 and 1944 events. Therefore, the October 1973 embargo is the latest event.
