Solution

The correct option is B Absolute poverty
Absolute poverty is measured by the consumption level or calorie requirement, which stands between 2,000 calories and 2,500 calories per person per day in India.

Consumption level refers to the daily intake of food, which can be expressed in terms of the amount of calories consumed by people.
