Solution

The correct option is B Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes
The Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe households belong to socially vulnerable groups and are often pushed to pursue casual wage labour.

A scheduled caste or scheduled tribe household engaged in casual wage labour is at a double disadvantage. This is because of lack of access to assets and overdependence on casual labour, leading to unpredictable income.
