Show answer
Answer: C. As of 2016, IFPRI's Global Hunger Index combined four indicators: undernourishment, child wasting, child stunting and child mortality (under-five). All three listed items are among them. So 1, 2 and 3.
Watch for: Students think a hunger index measures only food intake and leave out child health indicators.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because child stunting and child mortality are also GHI indicators.
- B. Wrong because undernourishment is also a GHI indicator.
- D. Wrong because child stunting is also a GHI indicator.
