Answer

D. Social inequality and income distribution.

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Inequality in society and distribution of income. The Human Development Index focuses on national averages regarding life expectancy, education, and income, but it fails to reflect how these benefits are distributed among the population. It ignores internal disparities and social inequalities, meaning a high score can coexist with extreme wealth gaps.
