Correct Answer: Assertion is false, but the reason is true.


Solution : The correct answer is (d) Assertion is false, but the reason is true.

The assertion is false. In reality, both India and China have imbalanced sex ratios with a higher proportion of males, not females.

The reason provided, stating that sociocultural factors such as a preference for male children and gender-based discrimination contribute to a skewed sex ratio in these countries, is true. These factors have led to practices such as female infanticide, sex-selective abortions, and neglect of female children, which have contributed to the imbalanced sex ratios in certain regions and communities within India and China.

Therefore, the assertion is false, but the reason is true.
