Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Poverty.
The Rangarajan Committee is related to the measurement of poverty in India. It was set up in 2012 under the chairmanship of Dr. C. Rangarajan, former RBI Governor, to review the methodology for estimating poverty. The committee submitted its report in 2014, recommending a higher poverty line than the earlier Tendulkar Committee estimates. It suggested separate rural and urban poverty lines, considering food, education, health, clothing, and house rent. According to its findings, around 29.5% of India’s population was below the poverty line in 2011-12, which was higher than Tendulkar’s estimate of 21.9%.
