A. reduced material possessions.

Explanation:

Social inequality has generated poverty in many families. This poverty creates problems for these people in many aspects of their lives, including health and health care. Because of the high prices charged by health insurance companies and the high price of medical care, poor people suffer a lot when their health is not going well. In addition, their living standards contribute to deteriorating health. The negative correlation between poverty and health is created by increased stress, reduced health care and an unhealthy lifestyle.
