  2. Child stunting
  3. Child mortality

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

C.1,2 and 3
A.1 only
B.2 and 3 only
D.1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C

The Global Hunger Index (GHI), computed by IFPRI, reflects the multidimensional nature of hunger using four key indicators:

  1. Undernourishment: This represents the proportion of the population with insufficient caloric intake.

  2. Child Wasting: This is the proportion of children under five with low weight for their height, indicating acute undernutrition.

  3. Child Stunting: This is the proportion of children under five with low height for their age, indicating chronic undernutrition.

  4. Child Mortality: This is the mortality rate of children under five, reflecting the combined impact of inadequate nutrition and unhealthy environments.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
