Solution :
Poverty can be categorized in a variety of ways. People who are always poor and those who are typically poor but occasionally have a bit more money are both referred to as chronic poor in this sense. Even though they may occasionally experience terrible luck, the intermittently destitute are usually wealthy.
Small farmers and seasonal employees are examples of the churning poor, who frequently migrate in and out of poverty.
Hence option b is the correct answer.
