What is the benefit of keeping public health and family planning together in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Family decisions can be based on health information

The direct answer is A: combining public health with family planning allows families to make decisions using accurate health information and suitable services. People can better understand maternal health, child health, spacing between births, contraception, nutrition, and the responsibilities involved in raising a family. This makes planning more informed and responsible. Option A is correct because it explains the practical benefit of linking health knowledge with family decisions. B is wrong because reliable public-health information is intended to reduce dependence on superstition and misinformation. C is wrong because health services become more important, not irrelevant, when planning is connected with health. D is wrong because child health remains a central concern of family welfare. Memory cue: healthy information leads to informed planning; planning without health knowledge is incomplete.
