Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

• Statement Analysis:
  • Statements - I: Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) is intended to terminate unwanted pregnancies, not "wanted" pregnancies as stated. The mention of "wanted" seems to be a typo or error; it should be "unwanted." Thus, this statement is incorrect as written.
  • Statements - II: MTPs are legally performed by qualified doctors with medical justification in many countries (e.g., under the MTP Act in India), making this statement correct.
• Option Analysis:
  • (1) Statements - I is correct but Statements - II is incorrect: Incorrect, as I is wrong and II is correct.
  • (2) Statements - I is incorrect but Statements - II is correct: Correct, aligns with the analysis.
  • (3) Statements - I and II are correct: Incorrect, as I contains an error.
  • (4) Statements - I and II are incorrect: Incorrect, as II is true.
• Conclusion: The correct answer is (2), as Statements - I is incorrect due to the "wanted" error, while Statements - II is correct.
