Which of the following are the detrimental effects of corruption on development?
(a) Lower level of social services
(b) Lower economic growth
(c) Higher tax burden and fewer services
(d) Lower opportunities for farmers to sell their product
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Administrative and political corruption severely impedes socio-economic development by diverting public funds away from health and education (resulting in a lower level of social services), deterring investment and reducing economic growth, imposing a higher effective burden on citizens for fewer public services, and distorting agricultural markets to restrict opportunities for farmers to sell their produce fairly. Thus, (a), (b), (c) and (d) are all correct.
