Solution

The correct option is A HPI
Human Poverty Index (HPI), an indicator developed by the United Nations, is complementary to the Human Development Index. The indicator measures the deprivation in areas of human life.

HPI is calculated on the basis of the three components of longevity, knowledge, and a decent standard of living.
