The table shows the estimated energy production (in quadrillions of BTUs) from fossil fuels over a 20-year period.
Which conclusion is best supported by the data?

• Dependency on oil has increased, therefore energy production from oil is increasing.

• Dependency on oil has increased, therefore energy production from natural gas is decreasing.

• Dependency on coal has increased, therefore energy production from coal is increasing.

• Dependency on coal has increased, therefore energy production from natural gas is decreasing.
