To describe a developed country, we would generally look for indicators that reflect a high standard of living, education, and healthcare. Among the options provided:
- **A** (literacy rate of 84%) could be indicative of a developing country, as developed countries typically have literacy rates close to 100%.
- **B** (life expectancy of 58 years) is too low for a developed country, where life expectancy is usually much higher (often approaching or exceeding 80 years).
- **C** (post-secondary education rate of 10%) is also quite low for a developed country, where a higher percentage of the population typically has access to higher education.
- **D** (population growth rate of 3.5% per year) is high, which is more commonly seen in developing countries rather than developed ones, as developed countries often have lower or even negative growth rates.
- **E** (infant mortality) as stated is incomplete but if it refers to a high infant mortality rate, it would also suggest a developing country.
None of the options provided clearly describe a developed country. In general, developed countries would have high literacy rates, high life expectancy, high rates of post-secondary education, low population growth rates, and low infant mortality rates.
