Population stabilization means bringing population growth to a balanced and sustainable level. It is not achieved by force, buildings, or trade alone. The National Population Policy 2000 connects population goals with people’s welfare, so education, health care, and voluntary family-welfare services must work together. Education helps people understand health, responsibility, and the benefits of planned families. Health services reduce risks for mothers and children and build confidence in the health system.

Therefore, option A is correct because the policy requires a combination of education, health, and voluntary family welfare. A single military or economic measure cannot address the social and health reasons behind population growth. The word “voluntary” is important: responsible choices and access to services are preferred over coercion. This makes option A the complete and appropriate answer.
