Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Women in Himachal grew more economically independent.

Himachal Pradesh has a very hilly terrain with sparsely populated hillocks placed in the folds of the mountains. So, it was difficult to open and run schools in such areas. They increased spending on education. This led to the progress of other growth indicators like decrease in girl infant mortality rate and economic independence of women.
