In order for a program to achieve significant poverty reduction,policy makers hope to avoid two types of targeting failure:
A) Non coverage of the poor,also called an inclusion error and leakage to the non-poor also called an exclusion error
B) Non coverage of the poor,also called an exclusion error and leakage to the non-poor also called an inclusion error
C) Over-coverage of the poor,also called an inclusion error and under-coverage of the poor also called an exclusion error
D) Over-coverage of the poor,also called an exclusion error and under-coverage of the poor also called an inclusion error

Non-coverage of the poor (exclusion error) and leakage to the non-poor (inclusion error) are the two types of targeting failure that policy makers hope to avoid in order to achieve significant poverty reduction. This means that the program should effectively reach the poor (avoiding exclusion error) and not provide benefits to those who are not poor (avoiding inclusion error). Option B correctly identifies these two types of targeting failure. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies leakage to the non-poor as inclusion error and non-coverage of the poor as exclusion error. Option C is incorrect because it identifies over-coverage of the poor as inclusion error, which is contradictory to the definition of inclusion error. Option D is incorrect because it incorrectly identifies over-coverage of the poor as exclusion error and under-coverage of the poor as inclusion error.
