Correct Answer: Odisha


Solution : The answer is (d) Odisha

According to the latest estimates by NITI Aayog, $32.59 % of the population of Odisha lives below the poverty line. This is followed by Bihar (42.1\%), Uttar Pradesh (32.9 \%), and Jharkhand (36.96\%).

The poverty line in India is defined as the minimum income or consumption level that is necessary to meet basic needs. The poverty line is different for rural and urban areas. In 2017-18, the poverty line for rural areas was Rs. 1000 per month and Rs. 1100 per month for urban areas.

The high levels of poverty in Odisha can be attributed to a number of factors, including low levels of education, lack of employment opportunities, and poor infrastructure. The state has also been affected by natural disasters such as floods and droughts.
