Question

Which among the following are the biological methods that are being used to control population growth?
A. Condoms
B. Oral contraceptive
C. Cu-T
D. All the above

Answer 1

Hint: The practice of arbitrarily maintaining the size of every population is population management. In comparison to the act of saving a species from unsustainable rates of extinction, which is referred to as conservation biology, it actually refers to the act of restricting the size of an animal population so that it remains manageable.

Complete Answer:
- Over a century, the quality and status of life have undergone a drastic change. For this, we must thank the improvised and advanced technologies around the globe.
- Lowering the death rate and rising the birth rate is one of the impacts of modern technologies on the economy. This has contributed to one of the most dangerous challenges crippling the world today viz the explosion of populations.
- India has captured its position among the most influential nations. All have achieved a new milestone in lifestyle, status, and economy. The population of India ranks first among this ethnic group. India's population is 12 times the population that existed before independence. Do we need this to stop? If so, how?
- To maintain the life of a population, reproduction is important, but such a disturbing development would definitely lead to a lack of certain essential necessities. The launch of family planning in India was characterised by this thinking. In 1952, India became the first nation to introduce demographic policies; today it is known as the First Five Year Programme, but it struggled to contain population explosion.

So the answer is “option D”.

Note: The government came forward later in the 1970s with more successful means of managing the population boom. This includes the Surgical Termination of Conception Act (1971), birth control motto posters and legislation, minimum marital age, abortion, etc.
