D Correct answer
Explanation
The government’s approach to poverty reduction was of three dimensions. 
The first one is growth oriented approach. It is based on the expectation that the effects of economic growth — rapid increase in gross domestic product and per capita income — would spread to all sections of society and will trickle down to the poor sections also.
The second approach aimed at creation of incremental assets and by means of work generation. This could be achieved through specific poverty alleviation programmes.
The third approach to addressing poverty is to provide minimum basic amenities to the people. Programmes under this approach are expected to supplement the consumption of the poor, create employment opportunities and bring about improvements in health and education.
Hence, D is the correct option.
