The statement mentions the gap between two groups, and the options that refer to income levels are the most relevant in this context. The use of "overall" also indicates a global perspective, which supports the choice of C since it refers to "rich" and "poor" without specific reference to any country or region. A, D, and E refer to specific groups that could belong to either of the two income categories mentioned in C. B is not a relevant option as the question does not focus on gender issues.
