Solution

The correct option is A Chronic hunger
When poor people do not have adequate food to eat, they suffer from chronic hunger. Either they cannot afford to buy enough food or cannot get the quality of food required to lead a healthy and active life. Their low income inhibits them from buying enough food for survival. Therefore, chronic hunger is a cause of malnutrition amongst the poor.
