Explanation:

- Option 1: Years of schooling

- Correct answer: The National Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) includes years of schooling as one of its indicators. It helps measure educational attainment and contributes to understanding the deprivation faced by individuals in accessing quality education.

- Option 2: Literacy rate

- While literacy is important, MPI specifically uses indicators like years of schooling and school attendance rather than literacy rate alone to assess educational deprivation.

- Option 3: Life expectancy

- Life expectancy is commonly used in other indices like the Human Development Index (HDI) but not directly part of MPI. MPI focuses more on health metrics like nutrition and child mortality.

- Option 4: Per capita income

- Not part of MPI. MPI assesses poverty by considering multidimensional factors, while per capita income is a monetary measure used in economic indicators like GDP.

- Correct Answer: Option 1, Years of schooling
