The correct option is D National Sample Survey Organisation

The poverty line in India is determined by calculating the bare minimum a person requires to lead a decent life. A person requires basic things like food, electricity, clothing, footwear, fuel, and medical facilities to survive.

The poverty line is estimated periodically, usually every five years, through sample surveys conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO).
