To determine which of the indicators would most likely use a specific statement as a justification for its measurements, it would be helpful to know the content of the statement referenced. However, based on the indicators provided, I can give a brief overview of each to help you align it with the likely justification:
A. **Walt Rostow's Modernization Model**: This model focuses on the stages of economic development and industrialization, often emphasizing economic growth and modernization.
B. **The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI)**: GPI measures the economic progress of a community by considering the well-being of individuals, environmental factors, and social equity, rather than just economic output.
C. **The Gross Happiness Index**: This index emphasizes subjective well-being, happiness, and life satisfaction, taking into account various factors affecting the quality of life.
D. **The Human Development Index (HDI)**: HDI combines indicators of health (life expectancy), education (years of schooling), and standard of living (GNI per capita) to assess the overall development and quality of life in a country.
If the statement in question relates to well-being, happiness, or measuring progress beyond just economic indicators, then **B. the Genuine Progress Indicator** or **C. the Gross Happiness Index** could be strong candidates. If it relates more to overall development and quality of life indicators, then **D. the Human Development Index** would be more appropriate.
Without the specific statement, I would lean towards **B. the Genuine Progress Indicator** if the focus is on a broader measure of progress that includes social and environmental factors. If it focuses solely on subjective measures of happiness, then **C. the Gross Happiness Index** would be the better fit.
