Solution
The correct option is C India
The rapidly growing human population is a major cause of concern. Therefore, it is extremely important to control population growth. The population grows rapidly because birth rates are high and death rates are comparatively low. In 1952, India became the first country in the world to formulate a national family planning program i.e., adopting mass vasectomy program.
