Correct answer: (c) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation
- A
1 only
Undernourishment only. IFPRI’s Global Hunger Index uses undernourishment, but it is not the sole indicator. Statement 1 alone is incomplete, so this letter is not the key.
- B
2 and 3 only
Child stunting and child mortality only. Both enter the GHI, yet undernourishment is also scored. Dropping 1 makes this letter wrong.
- C
1, 2 and 3
1, 2 and 3. The Global Hunger Index (IFPRI / Concern / Welthungerhilfe) combines undernourishment in the population with child stunting, child wasting and under-five mortality. The three listed heads are all used. That stored letter is the official key.
- D
1 and 3 only
Undernourishment and child mortality only. Stunting is a core child-undernutrition component of the GHI, so omitting 2 is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) 1, 2 and 3. IFPRI’s GHI is a composite of inadequate food intake and child outcomes. Undernourishment, stunting and child mortality are all in the published method; wasting is the fourth component not listed here. No listed indicator is a decoy. Honour the stored letter (c).
