D Correct answer
Explanation

This question is problematic as 'poorest' is subjective and depends on the metric (GDP per capita, HDI, poverty rate) and the timeframe. Somalia has historically ranked among the world's poorest countries by various indices, but Sierra Leone also ranks extremely low on human development indicators. Such comparisons are context-dependent and change over time.
