Explanation:

Here’s what you need to know about these terms:

- Chronic poor (Option 1) – This is the term used for people who are always below the poverty line, year after year, no matter what. They don’t move above the poverty line at any time.

- Seasonal poor (Option 2) – These folks fall below the poverty line only during certain times of the year. Maybe during off-seasons for farm work or if there’s a drought. But at other times, they manage to get by.

- Always poor (Option 3) – That sounds about right in casual conversation, but it’s not the technical term economists or policymakers usually use.

- None of these (Option 4) – This doesn’t fit, since chronic poor is the accepted term.

So, the correct answer is Option 1: Chronic poor. That’s what the experts call people who never climb above the poverty line.
