    Population in Million

    300%

    B.

    25%

    C.

    100%

    D.

    75%

    Correct option is A

    Formula Used:
    Percentage Increase=(2019 Year Value2015 Year Value2015 Year Value)×100\text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{2019 Year Value} - \text{2015 Year Value}}{\text{2015 Year Value}} \right) \times 100
    Solution:
    Value of electricity consumption in 2015 = 25 GW
    Value of electricity consumption in 2019 = 100 GW
    From 2015 to 2019 =  (1002525)×100=300%\left( \frac{100 - 25}{25} \right) \times 100 = 300\%​​
