The correct answer is option 1, below 30%. This means that less than 30% of the Indian population falls below the official poverty line. It indicates that a majority of the population is living above the poverty line.
Option 2, 30% to 35%, implies that a slightly larger percentage of the population is below the poverty line, which is not the case according to the provided answer.
Option 3, above 35% but below 40%, suggests that even more people are living below the poverty line, which contradicts the correct answer.
Option 4, between 40% and 45%, implies that a significant proportion of the population is in poverty, which is not supported by the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1, below 30%.
