A)
50th
B)
67th
C)

D)
85th

Correct Answer : Option (D) - 85th


India's rank improved one place to 85th among 180 countries in a corruption perception index (CPI) of 2021, according to a new report by Transparency International which, however, raised concern over the country's democratic status.
 
The index, which ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption according to experts and business people, uses a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.
 
 
Among those with weak scores are some of the world's most populous countries such as China (45) and India (40), and other large economies such as Indonesia (38), Pakistan (28) and Bangladesh (26), the report by the anti-corruption watchdog said.
 
India's rank improved by one place to 85th in 2021 from 86th in 2020, according to the index.
