C.The size of population in the working age group
B.The stock of its buildings, other infrastructure and machines
D.The level of mutual trust and harmony in the society
A.The proportion of literates in the population
Correct Answer: Option D
Social capital refers to the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively.
Option D, the level of mutual trust and harmony in society, directly reflects social capital.
Option A (literacy rate) is an example of human capital. Option B (buildings, infrastructure, and machines) represents physical capital. Option C (working-age population) relates to demographics and labor economics but isn't social capital.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
