Answer 1

Answer: D. low levels of social welfare.

Explanation:

Social welfare refers to the standard of living of the people of a country or region, among the components related to the level of life are; the safety of its residents, access to education and health, the quality of the environment, the availability of access to sources of recreation and socialization and respect for human rights.

In this case, we can consider that people have low levels of social welfare because there is inadequate health policy to help their citizens, too weak security,  basic rights and children's rights are not respected, and there is insufficient access to education.

I hope this information can help you.
