Solution
The correct option is B Decrease in Infant and Maternal Mortality Rates Increasing awareness and availability of contraceptives is one of the objectives of family planning programmes in India. Contraceptives are helpful in preventing unwanted pregnancies which leads to smaller families and thus population stabilization. They also help in checking the spread of STDs.
Contraceptives do not help in decreasing maternal and infant mortality rates. These rates can be decreased by improving access to better healthcare, nutrition and hygiene.
