To whom should health facilities be available under the National Population Policy?

Correct answer: All citizens

Direct answer: Option D, all citizens, is correct. A public health approach aims at broad and equitable access rather than restricting care to a particular city, occupation or landscape. People may live in cities, villages, remote areas or difficult terrain, and each person should be able to seek appropriate health information and services without unfair exclusion. Equal availability supports prevention, maternal and child health, nutrition and general well-being. Option A is wrong because rural and remote populations also need health care. Option B is wrong because health facilities are not a privilege limited to traders. Option C is wrong because people outside mountain areas also require services. Option D is correct because it expresses inclusive access. This does not mean every place has identical facilities; it means policy should work toward access for everyone. Memory cue: public health is for all people, not for one place or occupation.
