Solution

The correct option is C World Health Organization
Poverty is a global phenomenon. Thus, one requires a uniform measuring standard to study and understand it. The World Health Organization (WHO) set a uniform standard, which is currently $1.90 per person per day, for the poverty line estimation. People who earn less than that are deemed extremely poor.
