The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that there is a rapid decline in the infant mortality rate (IMR) and maternal mortality rate (MMR) in India. - Infant mortality rate refers to the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. - Maternal mortality rate refers to the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided is that more attention is being given to Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) programs in India. - RCH programs aim to improve the health of mothers and children, thereby reducing mortality rates. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion:** - It is a well-documented fact that India has made significant progress in reducing both IMR and MMR over the years due to various health initiatives and programs. 4. **Evaluating the Reason:** - The RCH program, launched in India in 1997, focuses on improving reproductive health services and child health care, which directly contributes to the decline in IMR and MMR. 5. **Establishing the Relationship:** - Since the RCH programs are aimed at improving maternal and child health, it is logical to conclude that the increased focus on these programs is a key factor contributing to the decline in IMR and MMR. 6. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. **Final Answer:** - The correct option is A: Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. ---
