Answer 1

b. Living standards across various countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Human Development Index measures the living standards of inhabitants of different countries by measuring the education level, the life span expectancy, and the income per capita. It aims to quantify the ability of people to satisfy their basic needs and have the freedom to choose what they want to do in their lives. A higher Index score means that a country has better conditions for human development.
