Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

All four statements are logically sound and reflect established economic principles regarding human development. Statement 1 is correct as human development outcomes are determined by macro-level factors including economic growth, social policy, and poverty reduction [5]. Statement 2 highlights the synergistic relationship where health, education, and income growth reinforce each other [1]. Statement 3 is validated by the fact that human capital (health and education) enhances human functioning and employability, thereby alleviating income poverty [2]. Statement 4 is correct because resources generated from economic growth and poverty reduction provide the fiscal space for governments to invest further in human development [3]. The causality flows in both directions: higher income enables human capital formation, while human capital drives further economic growth [1].
