Solution

The correct option is D Access to clean water
Per capita income is obtained by dividing the total income of the country by the country’s population. Thus, it refers to money or income earned per person in a region or state. However, per capita income ignores access to education, shelter, nutritious food, and healthcare facilities. Hence, it is not a helpful indicator of economic or social welfare.
