Directions: Read the passage given below and choose the correct option.

Passage: There is some controversy about the percentage of population below the poverty line in India. The criteria for the poverty line are based on a person's nutritional requirements in terms of calories. It is assumed that the minimum nutritional requirement per person per day in rural areas is 2400 calories, whereas it is 2200 calories in urban areas. If the household is unable to bear the expenditure for this level of nutrition, it is categorized as below the poverty line. There is also a view that along with calories the amount of protein intake be treated as a criterion as it is related to the physical energy, mental alertness, and resistance to infections.

Assumption: Many Indians who are below the poverty line get the necessary amount of proteins.
