Which country in North America is described as MEDC in the notes?

• A. Greenland
• B. United States
• C. Mexico
• D. Canada

Answer: (D)

MEDCs are highly developed economies with high incomes, advanced infrastructure, and high living standards. Canada fits this profile in North America: very high GDP per capita, extensive transport and communication networks, universal healthcare and strong education systems, a highly educated workforce, and a diversified economy across services, manufacturing, and resources. It is urbanized, politically stable, and has high human development indicators.

Greenland isn’t a sovereign country and has a small, resource-dependent economy; Mexico is generally classified as developing with lower income and development indicators; the United States is also a MEDC, but the notes describe Canada as the North American MEDC. So Canada is the best match for the notes.
