Why are women's health and girls' education placed together in the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: Both strengthen family health and social awareness

The direct answer is A. Women's health and girls' education are connected because both improve the well-being and decision-making ability of families. First, a healthy woman is better able to receive care, look after herself and her children, and seek medical help when needed. Second, education gives girls knowledge about health, nutrition, hygiene, rights, and responsible choices. These benefits can continue into adult life and support healthier families and greater social awareness. A is correct because health and education reinforce one another. B is wrong because they generally support, rather than weaken, family welfare. C is wrong because education and better health are associated with preventing harmful practices such as child marriage, not increasing them. D is wrong because both are important parts of public health. Memory cue: healthy and educated women help build healthy, aware families.
