C. Kerala
D. Karnataka

Answer 1

Hint:Sex proportion is the proportion of males to females in a populace. That is, it is the extent of people in a populace. According to Fisher's guideline, this proportion is 1:1 for most explicitly imitating species.

Complete answer:
The human sex proportion is, for evident reasons, concentrated more than the proportion for some other species. It is vital to the investigations of humanities and demography. The sex proportion upon entering the world for the world is 107:100. This is a direct result of the higher fetal mortality in females. The sex proportion is 943 in India according to the 2011 registration. That is, there are 943 females for every 1000 people. A slanted sex proportion that is not supportive of women is a hazardous sign since it shows a higher female fetal death rate. This is a specific issue in specific states where there is dynamic sex choice by guardians and young women are executed even before they are conceived. Haryana has the most minimal sex proportion in India among states at 879 young women for 1000 young men. Diminishing sex proportions present risks for future female populace in the nation.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: Despite several policies and programs, lower health outcomes for women and girl children persist in India. Certain forms of discrimination, especially the son preference, reinforced by the techno-economic forces are eliminating the girl child (even from the womb). The UNFPA State of World Population 2020 assessed the sex proportion upon entering the world in India as 910, which is on the lower side of the record.
