Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Human development is a process of enlarging the range of peoples choices, increasing their
opportunities for education, health care, income and empowerment and covering the full range of
human choices from a sound physical environment to economic, social and political freedom.
Thus, enlarging the range of peoples choices is the most significant aspect of human development. Peoples choices may involve a host of other issues, but, living a long and healthy life, to be educated and have access to resources needed for a decent standard of living including political freedom, guaranteed human rights and personal self-respect, etc. are considered some of the non-negotiable aspects of the human development.
