The correct answer is: A) Higher than the national average.
Kerala’s health expenditure as a percentage of its GSDP is 5.2%, which is higher than the national average of 3.8%. This means that Kerala spends more on healthcare than the national average, which is likely due to the state’s strong focus on public health.
Option B is incorrect because Kerala’s health expenditure as a percentage of its GSDP is higher than the national average.
Option C is incorrect because Kerala’s health expenditure as a percentage of its GSDP is higher than the national average.
Option D is incorrect because there is sufficient data to compare Kerala’s health expenditure as a percentage of its GSDP to the national average.
