Model Answer

(c) India — India's HDI rank is 134, which is better than Myanmar (144), Nepal (146), and Afghanistan (not listed but ranked lower).

Source: Chapter 1, Table 1.6 (Human Development Report 2023–24)

Explanation

From Table 1.6, India's HDI rank is 134 out of 193 countries, Myanmar is 144, and Nepal is 146. Afghanistan is not in the table but is ranked much lower globally. A lower number = better rank, so India ranks highest among the given options. Examiners expect you to read the table correctly and apply the logic that a smaller rank number means better performance.
