The correct answer is: France.
Amartya Sen was awarded the Grand Cross of the Légion d’honneur by the French government in 2013. The Légion d’honneur is the highest civilian honor in France. It was established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 to reward military and civilian merit.
Germany, the United Kingdom, and Belgium are also European countries that confer high civilian honors. However, Amartya Sen has not been awarded the highest civilian honor in any of these countries.
Germany’s highest civilian honor is the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Kingdom’s highest civilian honor is the Order of the Garter. Belgium’s highest civilian honor is the Grand Cordon of the Order of Leopold.
It is worth noting that Amartya Sen has been awarded many other honors, including the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998. He is a highly respected economist and philosopher who has made significant contributions to the fields of development economics, welfare economics, and social choice theory.
