Answer 1

Based on the information provided in the table, the following observation can be made:

• Bhutan’s GNI exceeds the LDC threshold.

This is correct as Bhutan's GNI is US$2,982, which is above the LDC threshold of US$1,222.

The other statements cannot be conclusively supported by the data in the table:

• The first statement about qualifying as an LDC cannot be determined fully by the indicators given.
• The second statement about human rights cannot be inferred from the economic and environmental indicators presented.
• The fourth statement about the government's emphasis on happiness is subjective and isn't directly supported by the data.

Thus, the most accurate observation based on the provided table is that Bhutan’s GNI exceeds the LDC threshold.
