Considering the data presented in the chart, which one of the following options is true?

The percentage increase in fuel consumption from 2010 to 2015 is more than the percentage increase in fuel consumption from 2015 to 2020.

The increase in the number of Millennial car buyers from 2015 to 2020 is less than the decrease in the number of Gen X car buyers from 2010 to 2015.

The increase in the number of Millennial car buyers from 2010 to 2015 is more than the decrease in the number of Gen X car buyers from 2010 to 2015.

The decrease in the number of Gen X car buyers from 2015 to 2020 is more than the increase in the number of Millennial car buyers from 2010 to 2015.
