Explanation:

Here’s the thing, let’s break it down:

- The question is about which country has the smallest number of poor people.

- The options you’re given are:

- 1: Both (a) and (b)

- 2: India

- 3: Pakistan

- 4: None of the above

- India has a much larger population than Pakistan, and although both have poverty issues, India has more poor people by sheer numbers.

- Pakistan’s total number of poor is significantly less than India’s, simply because its population is much smaller.

- Option 1 ("Both (a) and (b)") isn't clear without the actual (a) and (b) shown, but going by typical options, it’s usually India and Pakistan. India can’t have fewer poor people than Pakistan, numbers-wise.

- "None of the above" can’t be right, because one of them does have fewer poor people and that’s Pakistan.

So, the correct choice is:

Option:3, Pakistan
