What is the importance of women's education in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Help in making correct health and family decisions

The direct answer is A: women’s education helps with correct health and family decisions. Education improves understanding of health information, nutrition, sanitation, available services and the importance of care for mothers and children. It can also support informed decisions about family welfare and encourage the education and well-being of children. The question asks about the positive role of education, not about an automatic result in every household. Option A is correct because it describes how knowledge can support healthier and more responsible choices. Option B is wrong because education generally helps people understand disease prevention rather than spread disease. Option C is wrong because the purpose is to protect mothers and children, not increase infant mortality. Option D is wrong because education supports awareness and can help challenge harmful practices such as child marriage. Memory cue: education gives information, confidence and better choices.
