The most accurate answer is:
**A. A high GDP is related to a high quality of life and high development.**
While GDP measures the economic output of a country, the Human Development Index (HDI) evaluates a country's level of human development based on income (GDP per capita), education, and life expectancy. Generally, higher GDP correlates with better living standards, more resources for public services, and higher overall quality of life, which contributes to a higher HDI. However, it's important to note that GDP alone does not encompass all aspects of well-being, but the trend shows that higher GDP typically aligns with higher HDI levels.
