Detailed Explanation by Teachoo

Let’s check all the options

• Option (A) Weather Conditions - Weather conditions are the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time, such as temperature, rainfall, wind, etc. Weather conditions can affect the lives of people in many ways, such as their health, agriculture, transportation, etc. However, weather conditions do not cause people to be treated badly because of their poverty. For example, a poor person may suffer more from extreme heat or cold than a rich person, but that does not mean that the rich person will treat the poor person badly because of the weather. So, this is incorrect .
  
  
• Option (B) Health Conditions - Health conditions are the state of physical and mental well-being of a person or a population. Health conditions can be influenced by many factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, environment, access to health care, etc. Health conditions can also affect the lives of people in many ways, such as their productivity, happiness, longevity, etc. However, health conditions do not cause people to be treated badly because of their poverty. For example, a poor person may suffer more from diseases or malnutrition than a rich person, but that does not mean that the rich person will treat the poor person badly because of their health. So, this is incorrect
  
  
• Option (C) Working Conditions - Working conditions are the circumstances under which a person performs their job or occupation. Working conditions can include aspects such as wages, hours, safety, benefits, rights, etc. Working conditions can also affect the lives of people in many ways, such as their income, satisfaction, security, etc. However, working conditions do not cause people to be treated badly because of their poverty. For example, a poor person may work in a hazardous or low-paying job than a rich person, but that does not mean that the rich person will treat the poor person badly because of their work. So, this is incorrect .
  
  
• Option (D) Economic Conditions - Economic conditions are the present state of affairs in the overall economy of a country or region. Economic conditions can be influenced by many factors, such as global economic conditions, unemployment levels, trade balances, inflation, and interest rate. Economic conditions can cause people to be treated badly because of their poverty. For example, when economic conditions are bad there may be more inequality and discrimination against poor people who have fewer resources and opportunities than rich people who have more resources and opportunities. Poor people may face more challenges and hardships in accessing basic needs and services such as food, water, shelter, education, health care, etc. So, this is correct.

Thus, option (D) is correct
