Choose the correct options:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
(A) Amniocentesis — this matches (IV) Testing of sex. In amniocentesis a little amniotic fluid is taken to check the foetus for genetic disorders. It is misused to find the sex of the foetus, which is why it is banned for that purpose.
(B) Maternal mortality rate — this matches (III) Death rate. It counts deaths of women due to pregnancy and childbirth. A fall in it is one sign of better reproductive health.
(C) Vasectomy — this matches (II) Ligation of vas deferens. In this male sterilisation a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small cut on the scrotum.
(D) Tubectomy — this matches (I) Ligation of fallopian tube. In this female sterilisation a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up through a small cut in the abdomen or through the vagina.
