Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
At the world price of $125 per barrel of oil, the United States would import 6 million barrels of oil per day because this price level is where the quantity demanded by the U.S. exceeds the quantity supplied domestically by 6 million barrels, necessitating imports to meet the demand.
