The most accurate representation of the percentage of resources consumed by developed nations in comparison to the global total falls within the range of 50% to 75%.

Option 2 is correct.

The percentage of resources consumed by developed nations in comparison to the global total is notably disproportionate. While the global population of developed nations constitutes a minority, these countries often account for a significant share of resource consumption. The exact percentage may vary across different resources such as energy, water, or raw materials, but on average, developed nations tend to consume a substantial portion.

Option 2) 75% is the most accurate representation of the average resource consumption by developed nations in comparison to the global total. This acknowledges the significant impact of developed nations on global resource consumption while recognizing that they do not consume the entirety of the world's resources.

Option 4) 100% is not accurate as it implies that developed nations consume all global resources, which is not the case. The correct answer is typically between 50% and 75%, reflecting the significant but not exclusive impact of developed nations on global resource consumption.

Complete question should be:

What percentage of resources, on average, do developed nations consume in comparison to the global total? Is it:

50%

75%

90%

100%
