The correct answer is (c).
The Index of Government Economic Power (IGEP) is a measure of the economic power of a country’s government. It is calculated by taking into account the size of the country’s economy, the strength of its currency, and the level of its government debt.
In 2009, India’s rank in the IGEP was fifth. This was a significant improvement from its rank of tenth in 2008. The improvement was due to a number of factors, including the growth of India’s economy, the strengthening of its currency, and the reduction of its government debt.
The IGEP is a useful tool for comparing the economic power of different countries. It can be used to identify countries that are likely to be major economic players in the future. It can also be used to track the progress of individual countries in terms of their economic development.
The other options are incorrect. Option (a) is incorrect because India’s rank in the IGEP in 2009 was fifth, not second. Option (b) is incorrect because India’s rank in the IGEP in 2009 was fifth, not tenth. Option (d) is incorrect because India’s rank in the IGEP in 2009 was fifth, not sixth.
