According to the United Nations E-Government Development Index, 2018, India ranks at which place?

A 90th
B 95th
C 96th
D 99th

Correct answer: (c) 96th

Explanation

  1. A

    90th

    (a) 90th. India was not ninetieth on the 2018 United Nations E-Government Development Index. Ninety is a round distractor above the stored rank.

  2. B

    95th

    (b) 95th. Ninety-fifth is adjacent to the true 2018 slot and is a near-miss, not the key.

  3. C

    96th

    (c) 96th. The UN E-Government Survey 2018 placed India at 96 among 193 members, up from 107 in 2016. That stored rank is the official key. The EGDI blends online services, telecom infrastructure and human capital.

  4. D

    99th

    (d) 99th. Ninety-ninth undershoots the 2018 Indian rank. It is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) 96th. India’s 2018 EGDI rank was 96, improved from 107 in 2016. Ninetieth, ninety-fifth and ninety-ninth are neighbouring integers, not the stored letter. Denmark led the 2018 index. The survey is biennial under UNDESA.
