To determine which country would be considered the most developed based on life expectancy and infant mortality rate, we can evaluate the provided options as follows:

1. **Country A**: Life expectancy of 75 years and infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
2. **Country B**: Life expectancy of 79 years and infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
3. **Country C**: Life expectancy of 79 years and infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.
4. **Country D**: Life expectancy of 75 years and infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.

**Analysis**:
- Higher life expectancy generally indicates better health, living conditions, and access to healthcare.
- Lower infant mortality rates indicate better healthcare for mothers and infants, as well as overall better living conditions.

From the options, we can evaluate:

- **Country C** has the highest life expectancy (79 years) and the lowest infant mortality rate (6 deaths per 1,000 live births).
- **Country B** has a higher life expectancy than A but the same infant mortality rate (8 per 1,000).
- **Country D** has the same life expectancy as A but a lower infant mortality rate (6 deaths per 1,000).

Considering both factors, **Country C** would be considered the most developed due to its higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality rate.

**Conclusion**: The most developed country based on the criteria is the third option: "A country with a life expectancy of 79 years and an infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births."
