Passage
Over population is the most pressing of lndia's numerous and multi faceted problems. In fact it has caused equally complex problems such as poverty, under nourishment, unemployment and excessive fragmentation of land. Indisputably, this country has been facing a population explosion of crisis dimensions. It has largely diluted the fruits of the remarkable economic progress that the nation has made during the last four decades or so. The entire battle against poverty is thwarted by the rapid increase in the population. The tragedy is that while over population accentuates poverty, the country's stark poverty itself is in many areas a major cause of over population.
What is the irony behind the over-population of India ?

Options

A. Over-population gives birth to poverty, which (poverty) itself is the cause of over-population
B. Under nourishment and unemployment are outcomes of flawed economic progress
C. Fragmentation of land is leading to over-population
D. Fruits of the remarkable economic progress are trickling down to the poor
