The argument can be said to imply all of the choices except that people are more likely to purchase new cars if the price of oil is low. In fact, the argument implies the opposite. There has been a decline in car sales over the last month, while the price of oil has gone down 15 percent. If there is any relationship between the two, it is not that low oil prices equates to more new car purchases. The argument implies, rather, that the decline of car sales contributed to the fall in the price of oil.
