Which pair correctly matches the resource to its global daily consumption figure?

• A. Oil 88.0 MMBBL per day; Natural gas 3.2 TCF per day
• B. Oil 88.0 MMBBL per day; Natural gas 6.4 TCF
• C. Oil 80.0 MMBBL per day; Natural gas 3.2 TCF
• D. Oil 99.0 MMBBL per day; Natural gas 3.2 TCF

Answer: (A)

Global daily demand for major energy resources is typically expressed in large, widely cited figures: oil around the high tens of millions of barrels per day, and natural gas in the single to low double digits of trillions of cubic feet per day (measured in TCF per day). The pair that uses 88.0 million barrels per day for oil and 3.2 trillion cubic feet per day for natural gas aligns with those common benchmarks. The oil figure sits in the expected range for worldwide consumption, and the gas figure places the daily gas use in the same order of magnitude as standard energy data. The other options mix oil and gas values that fall outside these familiar global totals, making them less accurate representations of typical daily consumption.
