Explanation

Option A is correct because GDP per capita indicates overall wealth but does not directly measure personal income or well-being. Although GDP measures economic output (B) and excludes quality considerations (C), these do not fully explain why quality of life may not improve. Additionally, GDP is typically calculated annually, not every five years (D).
