Explanation:

Option-3 is correct . Population will increase.

There is a significant impact of improved health facilities, better living conditions, and a decline in mortality rates (such as death rate, maternal mortality rate, and infant mortality rate) on the rapid growth of the world population, including India.

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 of population growth.

Despite efforts made through programs like Reproductive Child Health (RCH) to reduce the population growth rate, it remained relatively high.

To manage the population growth, various measures were taken, including advocating for smaller family sizes through the promotion of contraceptive methods.

Additionally, the government implemented policies such as raising the statutory marriageable age for females to 18 years and for males to 21 years. Moreover, incentives were offered to couples opting for smaller families as part of efforts to control population growth.

The importance of using contraceptive methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies and manage population growth, along with outlining various measures taken by the government to encourage smaller family sizes and address the challenges associated with rapid population growth.
