Solution

The correct option is A Development in healthcare
The doctor–population ratio in India has exceeded the prescribed WHO norm of 1 doctor per 1000 people. This ideally signifies that there are more medical graduates in the country. With more medical graduates, medical care is more easily available to people. This increase in the ratio is the result of improved healthcare facilities that were ensured through various Five-Year Plans.
