Answer 1

The correct option is D The problem of infertility in India lies most often in female partner

Population growth rate in 2001 was approximately 1.74%. So, this statement is correct.

Statutory raising of marriageable age of the female is 18 years and that of males to 21 years, and incentives given to couples with small families are two of the other measures taken to tackle problems of reproductive health in human. So, this is also a correct statement.
An ideal contraceptive should be user-friendly, easily available, effective and reversible with no or least side-effects. It also should in no way interfere with the sexual drive, desire and/or the sexual act of the user. So, this statement is correct.
In India, often the female is blamed for the couple being childless, but according to recent reports by WHO, the problem lies in the male partner owing to the reproductive anomalies in them.
So, the incorrect statement is- The problem of infertility in India lies most often in female partner.
