The correct answer is 84th

Key Points

Bangladesh is ranked 84th out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index 2022.
The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at global, regional, and national levels.
The GHI scores countries on a 100-point scale, where 0 is the best possible score (no hunger) and 100 is the worst.
The index is calculated based on four key indicators: undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting, and child mortality.
Countries with higher GHI scores are experiencing higher levels of hunger and undernutrition.

Additional Information

The Global Hunger Index is published annually by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.
The 2022 report highlights that progress in combating hunger has been uneven across regions and countries.
Many countries with the highest levels of hunger have been affected by conflict, climate change, and economic shocks.
Efforts to combat hunger must be multifaceted, involving improvements in food security, nutrition, health, and education.
The Global Hunger Index aims to raise awareness and understanding of regional and country differences in hunger and to trigger actions to reduce hunger around the world.
