The question provided is: The more developed countries (MDCs):

However, the list of answer options appears to be missing or empty, and the only listed item references an option labeled 'e.' without presenting the full set of choices. Because the complete set of options is not available, it is not possible to evaluate each option for correctness or to determine which option is intended as the correct answer.

In situations like this, the first step is to acknowledge that the question cannot be fully answered without the full list of answer choices. If we consider the general concept of MDCs and international travel patterns, we can discuss the background idea briefly:

- MDCs typically include wealthier, highly industrialized nations with advanced infrastructure, higher incomes, and historically large shares of international travel, including stayover arrivals.
- Over time, the global distribution of international arrivals has shifted, with rising travel to and from emerging economies as their incomes grow and tourism infrastructure expands. This can lead to a relative decline in the share of international stayover arrivals accounted for by MDCs, even if absolute numbers in MDCs remain high.
- Whether MDCs’ share has declined since 1960 depends on data definitions (e.g., stayover arrivals vs. total arrivals, the exact geographic scope of MDCs, and the time period considered). Different sources may present different trajectories based on how the data are segmented and what counts as stayover arrivals.

Given the absence of the explicit answer choices, any attempt to judge which statement is correct would be speculative. If you can provide the full list of options (a, b, c, d, e) or confirm the intended options, I can assess each one in detail and explain why the correct choice is correct and why the others are not. Meanwhile, with the information at hand, we can only outline general considerations and the importance of having complete options to perform a precise analysis.
