Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Gross Domestic Product per head at real purchasing power
The UNDP’s pre-2010 Human Development Index combined three dimensions: (1) life expectancy at birth, (2) education (literacy/adult literacy and gross enrolment) and (3) the standard of living measured by Gross Domestic Product per capita at purchasing-power-parity (real purchasing power). Option (b) states this component correctly, while the other choices cite nominal dollar figures or GNP, which the HDI does not use.
