• A. 2.4%, 17.7
• B. 3.4%, 13%
• C. 4.4%, 17.6%
• D. 5.4%, 13.2%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2.4%, 17.7

India holds up only about 2.4% of world land area but supported around 17.7% of world’s population in 2021. This is owed to the high population growth rate in India over years due to lack of family planning, lack of reproductive awareness, poverty, unemployment, gender bias, etc.
