Correct Answer: It measures the distribution of wealth in a society.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) It measures the distribution of wealth in a society.

National income is a measure of the total value of goods and services produced within a country in a specific time period. It is used to assess the economic performance of a country and is considered a flow concept, as it is measured over a specific time period.

However, national income does not directly measure the distribution of wealth in a society. While national income can provide some insights into income inequality within a country, it primarily focuses on the overall economic output rather than the distribution of wealth among individuals or households. The distribution of wealth is typically analyzed using other measures, such as income distribution statistics, wealth inequality indices, or specific surveys focused on wealth distribution.
