Solution

The correct option is D 2100
The estimated minimum level of income needed to secure the necessities of life is the poverty line. The nutritional requirement recommends a national norm of 2,400 kilo calories a day for rural areas and 2,100 calories a day for urban areas, the difference being attributed to the lower rate of physical activity in urban areas.
