    D.

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is: (b) Only 1 and 2
    Explanation:
    The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite index published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to measure a country’s average achievements in three key dimensions of human development:
    1. Health – measured by the Life Expectancy Index

    2. Education – measured by the Education Index (which itself includes mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling)

    3. Standard of Living – measured using GNI per capita (PPP), not NNI Index

    Information Booster:
    • HDI was introduced in 1990 by Mahbub ul Haq and supported by Amartya Sen.
    • Countries are ranked as having very high, high, medium, or low human development.
    • HDI ranges from 0 to 1, where closer to 1 indicates higher development.
    • India’s HDI ranking in 2023 was 134th out of 191 countries.
