Solution

The correct option is C Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act
An equal sex ratio is the sign of a gender-balanced and fair society. One of the main reasons for the low sex ratio in India is the selective abortion of female foetuses. An equal sex ratio can be achieved by preventing selective abortion of females foetuses and enforcing strict laws like the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PCPNDT Act).
