Option 3: "every person in the world"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because it suggests that every individual is involved in the demand for rose oil, which is not supported by the text. The text focuses on the supply side, specifically mentioning Bulgaria's contribution to the global market, rather than individual consumers.

Option 4: "a select few countries"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it implies that only a few countries are responsible for the demand for rose oil. However, the text specifically highlights Bulgaria as the major producer, indicating a significant contribution to the overall demand rather than a limited number of countries.
