The most likely deduction that can be drawn about Country B from the information given in the passage is that Country B has a developing economy.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the average per capita GDP for the world has been mentioned to be $10,500 and that of Country B is mentioned to be $10,000. It is clear from this data that the average per capita GDP of Country B is less than that of the world, but the margin between its average and the world average is clearly avertable. The average per capita GDP of Country B is not very low compared to that of the world's. Thus, it would be incorrect to say that Country B has a least-developed economy.
