AA measure of national income
BA test for literacy
CA ranking of countries
DA measure of nutritional status — weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared; BMI below 18.5 indicates undernourishment in adults
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A measure of nutritional status — weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared; BMI below 18.5 indicates undernourishment in adults
Per NCERT, BMI = weight/height² (kg/m²). BMI < 18.5 = adult undernutrition. The other options misstate.
