Answer
From the given graph, I infer the following points:
- In rural areas, electricity consumption increased from 15% (1983) to almost 100% (2023), while kerosene use dropped from near 85% (1983) to near zero in 2023.
- In urban areas, electricity use rose from 65% (1983) to 100% (2023), and kerosene fell from 35% (1983) to zero in 2023.
- This suggests better energy access, affordability, and a move towards cleaner energy sources by complete transition from kerosene to electricity as the primary source of lighting by 2023 in both rural and urban areas.
