Answer 2

Answer: D. Lack of basic infrastructure

A developing economy is one that has not reached the level of human development enjoyed by other countries. It is an ambiguous term, that cannot be fully defined.

An emerging economy is one that still displays the characteristics of a developing country, but nevertheless shares characteristics of a developed country.

The fact that Cambodia lacks basic infrastructure places it in the developing market category, as opposed to the emerging one.
