Why did the National Population Policy aim to reduce the infant mortality rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: For children's health and survival

Direct answer: Option A is correct. The infant mortality rate refers to the number of infants who die before completing one year of age, usually measured per 1,000 live births. Reducing this rate means that more babies survive and receive better protection through healthcare, safe delivery, nutrition, breastfeeding support and immunisation. Therefore, the policy linked lower infant mortality with child health and survival. Option A is correct because it directly states this health purpose. Option B is wrong because infant survival is not a tax-related objective. Option C is wrong because farming has no direct connection with the reason asked. Option D is wrong because railway expansion is an infrastructure matter, not the health reason for reducing infant deaths. Memory cue: lower infant mortality means better chances of survival for babies.
