Explanation:

The poverty cycle is another important cause of poverty that explains why poverty tends to continue among the same sections of society. Poverty begets poverty. Beginning with a low income and lack of resources, the poor go through low health and nutrition, lack of education, and lack of skills. This leads to low employment opportunities, which, in turn, continue their low income condition, and low health and nutrition status. The resulting lowered motivational level only makes the situation worse; the cycle starts and continues again. Thus, the poverty cycle involves an interaction between the factors mentioned above, and results in declining individual motivation, hope, and sense of control.

 The correct order of occurrence of the 'poverty' cycle is:

A. Low income and lack of resources

C. Low health and nutrition, lack of education and skills.

B. Low employment opportunities.

D. Continuance of low income condition and low health and nutrition status
