Question

Which of the following is NOT an approach of Human Development?

• A. Income Approach
• B. Welfare Approach
• C. Health Approach
• D. Capability Approach

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the main approaches of Human Development.
According to the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), there are four main approaches to human development:
1. Income Approach
2. Welfare Approach
3. Basic Needs Approach
4. Capability Approach

Step 2: Compare with the options.
- (A) Income Approach → Yes, it is one of the recognized approaches.
- (B) Welfare Approach → Yes, included in human development theory.
- (C) Health Approach → Not part of the recognized list, though health is an indicator of development, it is not termed as a separate approach.
- (D) Capability Approach → Yes, introduced by Amartya Sen, focuses on expanding people's choices and opportunities.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the Health Approach is not recognized as an official approach to human development.
\[ \boxed{\text{Health Approach}} \]
