According to the World Bank, as of 2019, approximately 9.2% of the world's population (which is estimated to be around 7.8 billion people) lives in extreme poverty, which means they live on less than $1.90 per day. This translates to around 700 million people.

Therefore, the closest answer to this would be D, which is 1 billion.
