Answer 1

"Southern Africa has a higher level of economic development than Central Africa."

This is accurate: countries in Southern Africa (e.g., South Africa, Botswana, Namibia) generally have higher GDP per capita, more diversified economies and greater industrialization than most Central African countries (e.g., DR Congo, Central African Republic), which tend to be poorer and less industrialized.
