Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
The sex ratio of Kerala is highest in India. The sex ratio of India is 940 females for every 1000 males whereas Kerala's sex ratio is 1058 female per 1000 male, people are educated and as a result, there is not much distinction between a girl child and a boy child. So no female foeticide and thus a healthy sex ratio.
In countries like India, the population is increasing at a rapid rate and population growth rate in India is 1.6%. Causes for the same are the decline in death rate, a rise in birth rate, lack of education.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
