Question

A. High birth rate
B. High death rate
C. Poor health facilities
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The number of inhabitants in a nation is a pivotal factor in the advancement of its economy. India is the second-biggest nation in the world in terms of the size of the populace.

Complete answer: India's population contributes almost 15 percent of the total populace while her geographical area is just 2.4 percent of the world region. As per the 2011 Census Report, the absolute populace of India was around 121.0 crores as against 102.8 crores people in 2001.
The rapidly increasing population of India is a result of prevailing high birth rates and a large decline in the death rate in our country. Thus the analysis of factors which account for high birth rate and the factors that have contributed to a large decline in the death rate is to be done.

Now let us examine the option
Option A - High birth rate means a higher production rate and decline in death rate, which further results in the growth of population.
Option B - High death rate happens when there is a decline in the birth rate of the country. A higher death rate results in the natural decrease in population.
Option C - Poor medical facilities results in higher death rates. Low-quality health facilities as well as improper health facilities result in the decline of the population of a country.
Option D - This option is invalid because the primary reason behind the growth of a nation's population is the high birth rate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: Abundance development of population has prompted a shortage of natural resources on earth. More populace implies more utilization of natural resources to have an economical existence. Population growth additionally disturbs destitution, diminishes per capita pay, worsens the unemployment situation and increases the rate of unemployment in a country.
