The correct option is B (b) Only 1
Course of action (I), suggested by the question makes sense. People who decide on poverty related issues must understand how poverty impacts life and what the poor can realistically do to improve their condition. By going to the grass roots, administrators will gain the required exposure
II. Whether a person comes from a poor family may not determine that person's ability to solve poverty related problems. Being born in a non-poor family does not necessarily lead to any disadvantage in solving problems related to poverty.
III. Poverty may be increasing not because the decision makers are incompetent or ignorant, but because the problem itself may be hard to tackle or resources available may be inadequate.
