Which example explains the combined effect of health and education in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: An educated family uses health services properly and chooses a small, healthy family

The direct answer is A. Education helps people understand information about nutrition, disease prevention, maternal care, child care, and family planning. Health services then turn that understanding into practical support through counselling, check-ups, vaccination, and appropriate care. When knowledge and accessible services work together, families can make informed and voluntary decisions about their health and family size. B is wrong because lack of education generally makes it harder to understand reliable health information. C is wrong because education improves the ability to use health services correctly, while services provide practical assistance. D describes an uninformed decision and does not show a positive combined effect. The policy is broader than simply reducing births: it aims at informed, healthy, and responsible family welfare. Memory cue: “education informs; health services support.”
