Hint:

China’s One-Child Policy was a population control measure introduced in 1979, effective but with long-term demographic consequences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

It restricted most families to having only one child, reducing population growth significantly over decades. Though effective in controlling population, it resulted in challenges like an aging population and gender imbalance.
