The option that most accurately compares how oil and energy consumption are distributed around the world is:

Countries with more oil production often consume more energy, but some large energy consumers lack oil reserves and are required to import oil.

This statement captures the complexity of the relationship between oil production and energy consumption, acknowledging that while there is often a correlation between oil production and energy consumption, there are notable exceptions where large energy-consuming countries do not produce oil and must import it.
