The stress on adolescent protection in the National Population Policy is linked with which long term goal?

Correct answer: Creating a healthy responsible and aware adult population

Direct answer: B is correct. Adolescence is the stage between childhood and adulthood, when physical growth, habits, knowledge, and attitudes are developing rapidly. Protection during this stage includes access to education, nutrition, health information, safety, and supportive guidance. Step by step, these measures help adolescents avoid preventable risks, make informed choices, remain healthy, and develop responsibility. When they become adults, they are more capable of caring for themselves, their families, and their communities. Therefore, adolescent protection is a long-term investment in a healthy, responsible, and aware adult population. A is wrong because the policy is not designed merely to increase the number of soldiers. C is unrelated because reducing transport networks is not the goal of adolescent welfare. D is also unrelated because stopping port trade has no connection with protecting adolescents. Memory cue: protecting adolescents today helps build capable adults tomorrow.
