which comprehensively cover health, nutrition, education, sanitation and infrastructure. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development, i.e., a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living. It shows the positive relationship between HDI and SDG. Hence, both statements are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
