If per capita income rises but access to mental-health services falls, what conclusion is appropriate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Health services should also be considered for welfare

Reduced access to mental-health care can lower quality of life even when average income rises. Therefore option B is correct. Options A and C ignore health, while D confuses welfare assessment with GDP measurement.
