Answer:

C. As GDP decreases, social progress increases.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to Michael Green's research, a high GDP can help a country's social progress, but it is far from being the main factor in that progress.

Explanation:

Social progress is seen in countries that have the capacity to meet the basic needs of their residents and allowing everyone to have advanced access to knowledge, education, freedom, tolerance, security and employability. According to Green, although a country's GDP influences this progress, it is far from being its main provider. This was because, the countries with the greatest social progress (the Nordic countries) are not classified as having the highest GDPs, while countries such as the USA and China with the highest GDPs in the world, are not classified as countries of great social progress.
