Answer 2

The correct answer is

Divide each GDP number by its country's population.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide each GDP number by its country's population, we will obtain the GDP Per Capita, which is a measure that can determine the standard of living of the countries. In fact, GDP Per Capita is one of the most used measures to measure the standard of living of a country,

In the table, we will add a row with the GDP Per Capita for each country:

Country Population GDP GDP Per Capita

A 5,000 10,000 2

B 10,000 15,000 1,5

C 2,000 8,000 4

D 1,000 5,000 5

Under these figures, the country with the highest standard of living is the country with the highest GDP Per Capita, that is to say, country D.
