The correct option is D. The question asks which dimension is *not* included in the Human Development Index (HDI).

The Human Development Index (HDI), developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development. It comprises three basic dimensions:
1. **A long and healthy life:** Measured by Life Expectancy at Birth.
2. **Knowledge:** Measured by Mean Years of Schooling for adults aged 25 years and more and Expected Years of Schooling for children of school entering age.
3. **A decent standard of living:** Measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP$).

Options A (Life Expectancy at birth), B (Mean years of schooling), and C (Expected years of schooling) are all direct components used in calculating the HDI. Option D (Mortality rate), while related to health outcomes and life expectancy, is not one of the specific dimensions or indicators directly used in the standard HDI calculation. Life expectancy at birth is used as the indicator for the health dimension.
