Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Income, health, and education

Solution :

The correct answer is: Income, health, and education.


The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistical tool created by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to measure a country's overall achievement in its social and economic dimensions.


The index is based on three key dimensions of human development:

1. Health: Measured by life expectancy at birth, reflecting a long and healthy life.
2. Education: Measured by the mean years of schooling for adults and expected years of schooling for children.
3. Income (Standard of Living): Measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.


Therefore, HDI focuses on progress in Income, health, and education rather than purely economic metrics like trade or industry alone.
