(A) In Country Q, more coal was mined in 1990 than was mined in 1991.
(B) In Country Q, the amount of coal consumed in 1991 was greater than the amount of coal mined in 1991.
(C) In Country Q, the amount of coal consumed in 1990 was greater than the amount of coal consumed in 1991.
(D) In Country Q, the amount of coal consumed in 1991 was greater than the amount of coal consumed in 1990.
(E) In Country Q, more coal was consumed during the first half of 1991 than was consumed during the first half of 1990.

Yes B it should be. We don't have any information about the coal mined or coal consumed. D comes close, but it is possible that more coal was mined than consumed, and that would weaken D.
Only B can be true.

B for me too, obviously because they dug in to the supply remining from 1990.
