C) US energy consumption is 20–25 times that of Africa.

Explanation:

Africa is a country with very low energy consumption. This is related both to the lack of industrialization in the country, and to the lack of equipment that provides energy in the homes of citizens. It is estimated that a person's energy consumption in Africa is less than the energy consumption of a domestic refrigerator in the USA, which allows estimating that the energy consumption in the USA is 20 to 25 times greater than the energy consumption in Africa.
