Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Global Competitiveness Report is published by the World Economic Forum.[1] This report assesses the competitiveness landscape of countries across various parameters including infrastructure, innovation, and macroeconomic stability. The 2019 edition of this report ranked India first along with seven other nations on airport connectivity.[1]

The other options are incorrect as they represent different international organizations with their own flagship publications. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) publishes reports like the World Economic Outlook, while the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) publishes reports on trade and development issues. The World Bank focuses on development indicators and poverty statistics. Therefore, option C - World Economic Forum - is the correct answer.
