Answer 2

The correct answer A. Absolutely

Explanation:

Poverty refers to a state or situation in which individuals do not have enough money or income. This state can be classified into absolute poverty and relative poverty. In the case of relative poverty, this occurs when the individual income does not support an average lifestyle although some needs are still met. On the other than, absolute poverty occurs if the income is too low to pay for essential or basic items such as food, clothes or housing. This implies if someone does not have money to pay for the essentials of life she or he is absolutely poor as these features are part of absolute poverty.
