According to the official BPSC 2023 answer key, which offered description is…

Concept

A targeted welfare scheme is identified by its full beneficiary criteria—such as age, economic condition, and exclusion from another benefit—not by a broad category that also contains many ineligible people.

For a single-correct classification question, an option must state the scheme-specific class sufficiently; merely overlapping with some beneficiaries does not make a broader class an additional answer.

Application

The official BPSC answer key selects “older and poor people above 65 years.” Government eligibility rules describe the threshold as 65 years or above. Thus, the source option’s phrase “above 65 years” is the examination paper’s wording for the intended 65-and-above indigent senior-citizen class, with non-receipt of the applicable old-age pension as the complete administrative condition.

Contrast and cross-check

• “Above poverty line families” is a household income class and does not supply the scheme’s age, destitution, and pension-exclusion criteria.

• “Below poverty line families” can overlap with beneficiaries, but it is not sufficient: it includes households regardless of the individual’s age or pension status.

• “More than one of the above” would require at least two descriptions to independently state a sufficient beneficiary class; overlap alone does not meet that test.

• “None of the above” is excluded because the age-and-poverty description is the source paper’s scheme-specific class.

Result: The best-supported offered answer is “older and poor people above 65 years.”
