Answer 1

The correct response is:

They have higher life expectancies.

While GDP, average family incomes, and education spending are important factors, the Human Development Index (HDI) includes components like life expectancy, education level, and standard of living. Countries with higher life expectancies may achieve a better overall HDI, even if their GDP or incomes are lower than that of the United States.
