View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both statements are true from NCERT. NCERT states “A rapid decline in death rate, maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) as well as an increase in number of people in reproducible age are probable reasons for this” referring to population explosion. The Reason explains WHY India experienced rapid population growth - through demographic transition factors that increased survival and reproductive potential.
