Solution

The correct option is B GII
GII stands for Gender Inequality Index, an indicator developed by the United Nations Development Programme to measure and reflect gender inequality.

The index value can be between 0 and 1, where a value of ‘0’ indicates complete equality, while a value of ‘1’ indicates complete inequality. In 2015, India’s GII value was 0.563; it positioned India at the 130th rank among 188 countries.
