Consider the following statements : Statement I : Of the two major ethanol producers in the world, i.e., Brazil and the United States of America, the former produces more ethanol than the latter. Statement II : Unlike in the United States of America where corn is the principal feedstock for ethanol production, sugarcane is the principal feedstock for ethanol production in Brazil. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

States the United States has the highest maize harvest in the world (major feedstock for ethanol).

A student could combine this with the outside fact that much U.S. ethanol is corn-based to infer the U.S. has large ethanol-making capacity from maize production.

Defines crops used to produce liquid biofuels (ethanol), listing sugarcane and maize among primary feedstocks.

Use this rule to link crop-dominance (maize for U.S., sugarcane for Brazil) to each country's likely ethanol production potential.

Notes raw sugar comes mainly from sugarcane and lists Brazil as a leading producer of sugarcane-derived sugar.

A student could combine Brazil's strong sugarcane production with the fact that Brazil commonly uses sugarcane for ethanol to infer high ethanol output potential.

Mentions sugarbeet and the U.S.A. as a producer, indicating the U.S. also has temperate-region sugar feedstocks usable for ethanol.

This suggests the U.S. has multiple ethanol feedstock sources (maize and beet), reinforcing its overall ethanol production capacity when combined with maize data.
