Which of the following is/are the indicator/indicators used by IFPRI to compute the Global Hunger Index Report?

Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Detailed Explanation:
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is computed using four indicators that measure multidimensional hunger: Undernourishment (share of population with insufficient caloric intake), Child Stunting (children under 5 with low height for age, reflecting chronic undernutrition), Child Wasting (children under 5 with low weight for height, reflecting acute undernutrition), and Child Mortality (deaths before fifth birthday).
The question asks about three indicators — Undernourishment, Child Stunting, and Child Mortality — all of which are used by IFPRI (now published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe) in GHI computation, making all three statements correct.
