(d) Nepal
The correct answer is –
India has a better rank in the Human Development Index (HDI) compared to Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Nepal.
According to the latest Human Development Report published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2020, India ranks 131st out of 189 countries in the HDI, with a score of 0.645.
In contrast, Afghanistan ranks 169th with a score of 0.511, Myanmar ranks 147th with a score of 0.583, and Nepal ranks 142nd with a score of 0.602.
The HDI takes into account several factors such as life expectancy, education, and income to measure the overall well-being of people in a country. While India’s HDI rank is still considered to be in the medium human development category, it has improved significantly over the years, indicating progress in several areas such as health, education, and living standards.
