Question

Study the given table (Human Development Index 2022) and answer the question:

How many countries fall under the low category of human development in the given table?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 6

Hint:

{Low HDI Rule:}
HDI below 0.550 → Low development

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Human Development Index (HDI) categories:

• Very High: 0.800 and above
• High: 0.700 -- 0.799
• Medium: 0.550 -- 0.699
• Low: Below 0.550

Step 1:Identify countries with HDI below 0.550. From the table:

• Sudan -- 0.516
• Yemen -- 0.424
• Nigeria -- 0.548 (approx. borderline but falls in low category)

Step 2:Count them.
Total countries in the low HDI category = 3 \[ \boxed{(C)\ 3} \]
