Concentrated growth and benefits for high-income groups
Equal distribution of income among different sectors
Significant improvement in income for rural areas
Correct Answer:
Concentrated growth and benefits for high-income groups
Explanation:
Studies indicate that the income and quality of consumption have increased predominantly for high-income groups due to globalization.
