Currently at 26 billions a barrel, world consumption of oil is rising at 2 percent every year



i chose an option saying rate at which the world is consuming is rising at 2 percent every year.


My choice is wrong.Why please explain the trick? i chose this because 26 billions a barrel is a measure whcih should stand against a measure.
