Solution

The HDI, or Human Development Index, is perhaps a better measure of development because it includes both economic and social measures. This means that it doesn't just look at a country's wealth, but also at the well-being of its citizens, including aspects such as education and health. This provides a more holistic view of a country's development. Therefore, the answer is D. It includes both economic and social measures.
