Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

According to the Human Development Report (HDR) 2023-2024, titled "Breaking the Gridlock", released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), India's Human Development Index (HDI) rank is 134 out of 193 countries, with an HDI value of 0.644.

  • Sri Lanka: Ranked 78 with an HDI value of 0.780, it is categorized under "High Human Development" and performs significantly better than India.
  • Myanmar: Ranked 144 with an HDI value of 0.597, it performs worse than India.
  • Nepal: Ranked 146 with an HDI value of 0.601, it also performs worse than India.

Among the three countries listed, only Sri Lanka is performing better than India in terms of human development. While other neighbors like Bhutan (125) and Bangladesh (129) also rank higher than India, they are not part of the given list. Therefore, only one country from the list satisfies the condition.
