Option 1 : 1 only

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e 1 only.

Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income or wealth distribution of a nation's residents and is the most commonly used measurement of inequality. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
The Gini coefficient does not depend on either high income or low income. It also does not look at absolute incomes.
A Gini coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality, where all values are the same (for example, where everyone has the same income.)
A Gini coefficient of one (or 100%) expresses maximal inequality among values (e.g., for a large number of people, where only one person has all the income or consumption, and all others have none, the Gini coefficient will be very nearly one). Hence, Option 2 is NOT correct.
