Model Answer

Option D: World Bank

The World Bank classifies countries based on per capita income as the main criterion for development.

Explanation

From Q4 in the exercises: "What is the main criterion used by the World Bank?" — the answer is per capita income. UNDP uses a broader Human Development Index (income + health + education), not per capita income alone. This distinction is a common exam trap.
