Israel is a developed country, so definitely not. Qatar might not have a lot of democracy, but its economy is oil-based and it's quite rich. Iraq- similar. The correct answer is a. Afghanistan.

The correct answer is "A".

Afghanistan is a Mediterranean country located in the Middle East. The overall conditions of the country are not favorable, as it has a negative trade balance (what it exports v what it imports) of more than 4 billion dollars annually. GDP per capita is less than 2000 dollars a year per citizen.

Regarding social matters, it is one of the top countries where human rights are strongly questioned, as there is a large gap of inequality of rights between Men and Women and there is little to none religious tolerance aside from the official Muslim religion.
