Kalahandi

The correct answer is (a) Kalahandi.

Kalahandi is a district in the Indian state of Odisha. It is one of the most backward districts in the country, with a high incidence of poverty and malnutrition. The district has been prone to severe food insecurity for many years, due to a combination of factors, including drought, floods, and crop failures.

In recent years, the government has taken some steps to address the problem of food insecurity in Kalahandi. However, much more needs to be done to improve the lives of the people in this district.

Cuttack is the former capital of Odisha and is one of the most developed districts in the state. It has a relatively low incidence of poverty and malnutrition.

Mayurbhanj is a tribal district in Odisha. It is a relatively backward district, with a high incidence of poverty and malnutrition. However, the district has not been as prone to severe food insecurity as Kalahandi.
