There is a logical gap between the synthetic oil and lower chance of the accident. The assumption must be something like "synthetic oil increases engine performance, which in turn lowers chance of accident". A fits the bill.
Strengthening question with logical gaps are easy to tackle once we can identify the missing links.

A - Correct. Stalled engine on the road can result in an accident. Since he used good oil, less probability of stalled engine, hence, low probability of an accident

B - Driver error and engine performance not related

C - No connection

D - You might have read Speed kills, but as far as GMAT is concerned, stretching it too much,

E - No connection
