To determine which country would be considered the most developed based solely on life expectancy and infant mortality rate, we need to analyze the provided options according to these two indicators:

1. **A country with a life expectancy of 75 years and an infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.**
2. **A country with a life expectancy of 79 years and an infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.**
3. **A country with a life expectancy of 75 years and an infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.**
4. **A country with a life expectancy of 79 years and an infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.**

### Analysis:
- Higher life expectancy is generally indicative of better health care, quality of life, and overall development.
- Lower infant mortality rates are also indicators of a better health care system and overall living conditions.

Now, let's compare:

1. **Country 1**: Life expectancy of 75 years, infant mortality rate of 6
2. **Country 2**: Life expectancy of 79 years, infant mortality rate of 8
3. **Country 3**: Life expectancy of 75 years, infant mortality rate of 8
4. **Country 4**: Life expectancy of 79 years, infant mortality rate of 6

### Conclusion:
- **Country 4** has the highest life expectancy (79 years) and the lowest infant mortality rate (6 deaths per 1,000 live births).
- Therefore, based on these two indicators, **Country 4** would be considered the most developed.
