Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: Shows what portion of total money income is accounted for by different proportions of the nation's households.

Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of income inequality and wealth inequality in an economy. In a graphical representation, there is a straight line and if Lorenz curve is same as the straight line then there is an income equality. The gap between straight line and curved line shows us the income inequality among the households. The larger the gap between these two curves the greater will be the income inequality in an economy.
