Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D Turkey may struggle to provide adequate education or health care, or it may have a lower life expectancy.

Explanation:

The human development index (HDI) is the basis for the holistic view of a country in terms of their level of education, life expectancy of their people, health care ,and the countries per capital income. It shows how far the country has gone in the development of all these key areas. A country might have a high GDP, but a lower HDI, these may be due to the fact that such a country had not done enough to develop their level of education, health care, and in addition, such a country may have a lower life expectancy.

In the case of Turkey in the question, Turkey rank lower in the HDI indicator even though it has a high GDP because the country may struggle to provide adequate education or health care,or it may have a lower life expectancy.
