Answer:
B) Literacy rates impact GDP per capita.
Explanation:
Based only on this information is hard to affirm anything, but when we look at the countries with the lower GDPs, we see countries like Somalia, North Kores, Russia and South Africa. Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world, due to a lack of exploitable resources and thus it is unlikely to be able to invest in promoting literacy. Something similar happens with North Korea, they have no reason to invest in literacy since the autocratic regime controls most of the information the people receive. As for Russia and South Africa, both these countries have had historical events where a large amount of the population were denied education, either by a regime like Apartheid or by the socialism imposed in the Soviet Union which isolated rural people. Therefore it is reasonable to think that all of these countries have lacking educational systems that prevent illiteracy and this is correlating with their GDP
