View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: B — S2 and S5
Let's evaluate each statement: S1: RCH programmes do include creating awareness, providing support, and massive child immunisation. So, S1 is correct. S2: Saheli is a non-steroidal preparation, not hormone-based, and is a once-a-week oral contraceptive. So, S2 is NOT correct. S3: Sex education helps in providing right information to discourage myths and misconceptions. So, S3 is correct. S4: Amniocentesis for sex-determination is legally banned to check female foeticide. So, S4 is correct. S5: MTPs are considered relatively safe during the first trimester (up to 12 weeks), but second-trimester abortions are much riskier. So, S5 is NOT correct. Thus, statements S2 and S5 are NOT correct. The final answer is B
