Correct answer: B — 1, 2, 4 and 5 are correct
WHO defines reproductive health as a total well-being in all aspects of reproduction. A reproductively healthy society includes people with normal reproductive organs and balanced sex-related interactions. India initiated family planning in 1951, not 1952. Amniocentesis is legally banned for sex determination to prevent female foeticides but is medically used for detecting genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, haemophilia, and sickle-cell anaemia.
