Solution

The correct option is D Chronic hunger
Hunger has two dimensions: seasonal hunger and chronic hunger. Seasonal hunger occurs due to seasonal unemployment. Chronic hunger occurs when a person does not have adequate food because the occupation or the trade does not pay enough. In Vinay's case, the minimal income makes it difficult for him to afford food. Thus, he experiences chronic hunger.
