Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lack of positive political inclination is not a cause of poverty. The government has been running targeted anti-poverty campaigns and has taken measures to uplift economic growth. Others are causes such as economic development suffered during the British administration. They discouraged traditional industries, handicrafts and promoted their products in the market.  Further, when people migrated from rural to cities, they were unable to find jobs and started working at small irregular incomes as vendors, rickshaw pullers. This created urban poverty. Also uneven distribution of land and resources has resulted in poverty.
