Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

GDP or gross domestic product is a tool to measure the economic growth of a nation. It measures the value of final goods produced within the geographical boundaries of a nation. Though it does not include values such as good health, high-quality education, etc. These things are generally not quantifiable and thus cannot be expressed in quantitative terms.  

Regardless of the fact that GDP does not include some important values related to the standard of living. It is still considered as a useful tool to measure society's welfare. This is because it measures the nation's ability to purchase inputs which are used in the production of output that provide satisfaction to the consumers and contribute to social welfare in the nation.
