No, the correct answer is B) education. The Human Development Index (HDI) measures a nation's development based on several factors, including life expectancy, education level, and income. While birth rate and gross national income are important aspects of development, they are not specifically considered in calculating the HDI. Assessable tax base is not a factor used in the calculation of the HDI.
