ഉത്തരം കാണിക്കൂ
ഉത്തരം: D — Correct: System of Environmental-Economic Accounting — The roadmap aligns the national framework with the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA), which measures natural-resource use alongside GDP. • System of National Accounts 2008 — wrong: The SNA 2008 measures conventional economic activity such as GDP; the roadmap is tied to the environmental accounting standard. • Millennium Development Goals framework — wrong: The Millennium Development Goals framework ended in 2015 and is not an accounting standard. • Human Development Index methodology — wrong: The HDI is a composite index published by UNDP, not an accounting framework.
