Which broader aim is strengthened by the goal of universal immunisation in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Reducing child mortality and giving a healthy childhood

Direct answer: B, reducing child mortality and promoting a healthy childhood. Universal immunisation means providing vaccines to protect children from diseases that can often be prevented. When fewer children suffer serious illness, the chances of survival improve and families receive support for healthier growth. This is connected with the National Population Policy because population policy is not only about the number of people; it also aims to improve the quality of life, health and survival of mothers and children. A is wrong because immunisation is a public-health measure, not a programme for commercial profit. C is wrong because forest products are unrelated to child vaccination. D is wrong because ports concern transport and trade, not disease prevention. Memory cue: vaccines protect life; protected childhood means lower child mortality.
