This is not my field of expertise but my understanding is that petroleum is an umbrella term referring to more than just crude oil. The question was quite specific, and no one refers to "West Texas petroleum" AFAIK.

Yes, it specifically said "the two *major* benchmarks", implying that
there could be others. If your understanding of the terms is correct,
then I think that's sufficient reason to accept that answer.

in no case can I find anyone referring to it as "petroleum" however I would score it as correct and unique in a rare entries contest if I were running it. take from that what you will.
