• 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

The correct option is 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. This method has been reported to be effective only upto a maximum period of six months following parturition.

Creating awareness about reproduction by audio-visual and print media, governmental and non-governmental agencies helps in creating a reproductively healthy society.

Infertility is the inability to produce viable offsprings due to defects in either the male or female or both the partners.
