Which one of the following issues the 'Global Economic Prospects' report periodically?

Explicitly states the 'Global Economic Prospects' (GEP) report is issued by the World Bank Group twice a year.

A student could combine this with the basic fact that one organization typically 'owns' a report title to suspect ADB is not the publisher and then verify publisher lists from 2015.

Provides a multiple‑choice question listing ADB and World Bank as candidate issuers of GEP, implying the question tests which institution publishes GEP.

A student could infer the intended correct answer is not ADB (given other evidence) and check official 2015 bibliographies for confirmation.

States that the Asian Development Bank publishes the 'Asian Development Outlook' annually — showing ADB uses a different, regionally named flagship economic report.

Using the fact ADB has its own regional outlook title, a student could judge it less likely ADB also issued a global report named GEP and then compare report titles in 2015.

Notes that the IMF publishes the 'World Economic Outlook', illustrating that major institutions each publish distinct, named global economic reports.

A student could apply this pattern (distinct report titles per institution) to reason that 'Global Economic Prospects' is likely tied to one specific institution (as snippet 1 says) rather than ADB.

Mentions 'World Development Report' is published by the World Bank annually, showing the World Bank regularly issues major reports on development and prospects.

A student could extend this to infer the World Bank commonly publishes flagship reports (supporting the snippet that GEP is a World Bank product), reducing the plausibility that ADB published GEP in 2015.
