Here is the full question :

ee Hint Haiti is a very poor country. Singapore is much smaller geographically and has far fewer people, but it is roughly 70 times richer in terms of per capita GDP. Supposing the following statements are true, which one might explain why Haiti is a little closer to Singapore in terms of standard of living than the official statistics suggest? Choose one: O A Health standards in Singapore exceed those in Haiti. O B. Singapore is much more livable in terms of pollution than Haiti. OC. There is more underground market activity in Singapore than in Haiti. O D. Haiti has more nonmarket production than Singapore.

Per capita GDP = GDP / population

If Haiti has more non market activities, the bulk of its economic activities would not be captured in the GDP. This would lead to Haiti having a smaller GDP than Singapore
