Explanation:

Define Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total monetary value of all finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. Therefore, a low GDP indicates that a country produces a low volume or value of goods and services each year.

Analyze economic status

A country that produces a low volume of goods and services typically has less economic output, lower income levels, and fewer resources, which characterizes it as an economically poor nation.

Evaluate the given options

• Option A suggests a low number of goods results in an economically rich nation, which is contradictory.
• Option B suggests a high number of goods results in an economically poor nation, which is incorrect.
• Option C suggests a high number of goods results in an economically rich nation, which does not describe a low GDP.
• Option D correctly states that a low GDP means the country produces a low number of goods each year, resulting in an economically poor nation.

Answer:

• (A) produces a low number of goods each year, resulting in an economically rich nation
• (B) produces a high number of goods each year, resulting in an economically poor nation
• (C) produces a high number of goods each year, resulting in an economically rich nation
• (D) produces a low number of goods each year, resulting in an economically poor nation (Correct answer)
