Solution

The correct option is C Birth rates have decreased gradually since 1981.
In India, birth rates have always been higher than death rates. We saw a growing trend of the population up to 1981 as a result of a higher birth rate compared to the death rate. Since 1981, birth rates have also started declining gradually, resulting in a gradual decline in the rate of population growth.
