Option 4)

Explanation:

• Rural poverty is substantially high in India; it is much more than urban poverty, both in number and in percentage term. In India, even after nearly forty years of planning, poverty could not be significantly reduced.
• While it has reduced a bit in percentage terms, it might have increased. Economic growth has not been fast sufficient to get the desired reduction in poverty about the year as a whole.  
• Rural poor include landless and marginal farmers. There is a broad economic gap between urban poor and rural poor. The living condition of the urban poor is better than that of the rural poor.  
• The rural poverty is temporary in nature and is not distressful whereas urban poverty is permanent and distressful.
