A and D only

Poverty is closely related to the nature of employment. Unemployment or under-employment and the casual and intermittent nature of work in both rural and urban areas compel indebtedness, in turn, reinforce poverty. Indebtedness is one of the significant factors causing poverty. A steep rise in the price of food grains and other essential goods, at a rate higher than the price of luxury goods, further intensifies the hardship and deprivation of lower-income groups. The unequal distribution of income and assets has also led to the persistence of poverty in India.
