Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Reduce birth rate

The main common cause leading to overpopulation in India are: the birth rate is still higher than the death rate. Even though legally the marriageable age of a girl is 18 years, the concept of early marriage still prevails and getting married at a young age prolongs the childbearing age. Hence, the best solution to population problem in India is to reduce the birth rate.
