Answer 1

E. Afghanistan, because literacy is a key part of economic development. With a literacy rate of only 32%, it suggests a lack of access to education and limited opportunities for economic growth and development. A higher literacy rate is typically associated with a higher standard of living, and therefore Afghanistan is more likely to have a lower standard of living compared to other nations in the region.
