Why the answer is D, and why the others tempt you.
The Human Development Index (HDI) is composed of three dimensions: health (measured by life expectancy at birth), education (measured by mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling), and living standards (measured by Gross National Income per capita). The balance of payments position is a macroeconomic indicator and is not a component of the HDI.
