Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We cannot determine the exact percentage of GDP produced by country B as we do not have any numerical data. However, since there are only five countries in the world and country B is only one of them, it is safe to assume that it is responsible for 1/5th or 20% of world GDP. However, this assumes that all countries are equal in terms of GDP, which may not necessarily be true. So, the closest answer would be B) 25% as it is the closest to 20%.
