Solution

The correct option is D <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Assumes that the national income is evenly distributed
Per capita income is only a numerical value, so it has certain limitations. For example, it ignores social welfare, qualitative measures, living standards, etc. Also, it gives an average income, which means that it assumes that the income is distributed equally for all, which is not true.
