D) Kuwait has not been impacted by as much war as has Saudi Arabia.

Answers

b) kuwait has a much smaller population than saudi arabia is the only one that makes sense and it its true

Answer:

B) Kuwait has a much smaller population than Saudi Arabia.

Explanation:

While it may seem that more barrels of oil would equal a higher standard of living, that is not necessarily the case. In the example here, Kuwait produces less oil per day than Saudi Arabia but has a higher standard of living. One good explanation for this is that Kuwait has a much smaller population than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has over 27 million citizens compared to Kuwait's 2.7 million. The GDP per capita in Saudi Arabia approximately $31,000, while in Kuwait it is over $42,000
