Option 1 is true because, except for India, all listed countries have an adult literacy rate of over 80%.
Option 2 is also true. The table shows that Malaysia and Korea have the highest life expectancies at 71.4 and 71.7 years, which is higher than all the other countries.
Option 3 is stated as the incorrect answer in the question. This statement tries to establish a direct correlation between adult literacy and infant mortality, suggesting that as the literacy rate increases, infant mortality rate decreases. While this may easily be inferred as a general trend, the table does not universally support this claim. For instance, Indonesia and the Philippines have almost the same literacy rate, but their infant mortality rates are vastly different.
Option 4 is true as well. Although there is a small difference, the life expectancy at birth in India (62.4 years) is almost the same as that of Indonesia (64 years).
Therefore, out of all the options, option 3 is the false statement.
