Solution

The correct option is B Resources to lead a decent life
Poverty refers to lack of resources to lead a decent life. It can be defined as the inability to secure the minimum consumption requirements for life, health, and efficiency. Lack of education can also be a cause of poverty, but it cannot be the sole reason for poverty.
