Question

Consider the following statements and select the option stating which ones are true (T) and which ones are false (F).
(i) Abortions could happen spontaneously too.
(ii) Infertility is the inability to produce viable offspring due to defects in the female partner only.
(iii) Complete lactation could help in contraception.
(iv) Creating awareness can help create a reproductively healthy society.

• A. (i) F, (ii) F, (iii) T, (iv) - T
• B. (i) F, (ii) T, (iii) F, (iv) - T
• C. (i) T, (ii) F, (iii) T, (iv) - T
• D. (i) T, (ii) T, (iii) F, (iv) - F

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(i) T, (ii) F, (iii) T, (iv) - T

Abortions could occur spontaneously too. The reason for this could be any physiological problem in the mother or foetus or both. During complete lactation, there is no ovulation and thus chances of conceiving are nil or less during this period. Creating awareness about reproduction by audio-visual and print media, governmental and non-governmental agencies help in creating a reproductively healthy society. Infertility is the inability to produce viable offspring due to defects in either male or female or both the partners.

So, the correct answer is '(i) T, (ii) F, (iii) T, (iv) - T'.
