A. Higher in Country A

Explanation:

So to get per capita income

Formula

GDP/Population

Therefore

For Country A

440/100=4.4

Per capita income for country A is 4.4

For Country B

560/175=3.2

Per capita income for country B is 3.2

So the per capita income for country A is higher than Country B
