To determine which country would be considered the most developed based on life expectancy and infant mortality rate, we can evaluate the provided options as follows:

  1. Country A: Life expectancy of 75 years and infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
  2. Country B: Life expectancy of 79 years and infant mortality rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
  3. Country C: Life expectancy of 79 years and infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.
  4. Country D: Life expectancy of 75 years and infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births.

Analysis:

  • Higher life expectancy generally indicates better health, living conditions, and access to healthcare.
  • Lower infant mortality rates indicate better healthcare for mothers and infants, as well as overall better living conditions.

From the options, we can evaluate:

  • Country C has the highest life expectancy (79 years) and the lowest infant mortality rate (6 deaths per 1,000 live births).
  • Country B has a higher life expectancy than A but the same infant mortality rate (8 per 1,000).
  • Country D has the same life expectancy as A but a lower infant mortality rate (6 deaths per 1,000).

Considering both factors, Country C would be considered the most developed due to its higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality rate.

Conclusion: The most developed country based on the criteria is the third option: "A country with a life expectancy of 79 years and an infant mortality rate of 6 deaths per 1,000 live births."
