  2. B. The Birth and Life Expectancy

Answer

Correct option: B - The Birth and Life Expectancy

The Human Development Index (HDI), developed by the UNDP, measures human development across three key dimensions: (1) Health -- measured by life expectancy at birth (which includes "birth" as a reference point and "life expectancy" as the indicator); (2) Education -- measured by mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling; (3) Standard of living -- measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita. Among the options, "The Birth and Life Expectancy" corresponds to the health dimension of HDI.
