Solution

The correct option is C Female political empowerment
Gender Development Index measures the gender gap based on disparities between male and female, and it considers three factors of human development: long and healthy life, knowledge and standard of living. Longevity is measured by life expectancy, while knowledge is calibrated on female literacy and schooling or enrollment. To quantify standard of living, GDI measures the female per capita income against the male to calculate the Gender Development Index (GDI).
