Answer 1

The correct option is B Poverty is a phenomenon where people are forced to live in poor conditions despite working hard.

Poverty is a state of life in which people are not able to afford basic necessities like food, education, healthcare, shelter, and clothing. Poverty is a global phenomenon and is experienced by a large number of people in developing and underdeveloped countries. Poverty can be reduced by rapid economic growth and investments in human resource development.
