Explanation:

- Statement 1: A single member of the household is identified as under-nourished.

- This statement aligns with common indicators of poverty where individual nourishment levels are considered. An undernourished member signifies potential deprivation in terms of food security and nutrition.

- Statement 2: The body mass index (BMI) of a woman member, between 15 years and 49 years of age, is below 18.5 kg/m².

- A BMI below 18.5 kg/m² for a woman signifies that she may be underweight, which could be seen as a deprivation indicator reflecting inadequate food intake or health services.

- Option 1: 1 only

- This suggests only the first condition leads to deprivation.

- Option 2: 2 only

- This suggests only the second condition leads to deprivation.

- Option 3: Both 1 and 2

- Correct Answer: Both conditions can be considered valid indicators of household deprivation when assessing multi-dimensional poverty.

- Option 4: Neither 1 nor 2

- This would imply neither condition is relevant for determining deprivation, which does not align with standard poverty measurement techniques.

Both statements represent valid indicators used in assessing multi-dimensional poverty.
