Solution

The correct option is B Country B
The United Nations Development Programme constructed an index known as the Human Development Index or HDI to measure human development. It encompasses dimensions of health, education, and living standards.

HDI is expressed in numerical value. The value of HDI lies between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates the least development and 1 indicates the highest level of development. Hence, Country B is deemed more developed.
