Which advantage supports development in poorer countries?

• A. Support development in poorer countries
• B. Worsen inequality
• C. Exploit workers
• D. Decline in investment

Answer: (A)

Providing support for development in poorer countries strengthens the resources and capacity they need to grow. When external help comes in the form of investment, technology transfer, education and training, or infrastructure projects, it creates jobs, builds skills, and improves essential services like health and education. This kind of support helps lift living standards and makes the economy more capable of sustaining growth on its own, which is the core way to advance development.

Worsening inequality, exploiting workers, or a decline in investment would hinder growth. More inequality can disrupt social harmony and reduce opportunities for the poor; exploiting workers is unethical and damages long-term productivity and trust; a decline in investment cuts the capital available for new projects and expansions.
