927
B.
924
C.

D.
914
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Explanation:

The Child Sex Ratio (CSR) refers to the number of females per 1000 males in the age group of 0-6 years.

According to the provisional results of the 2011 Census of India, the Child Sex Ratio was recorded as 914 females per 1000 males.

This figure marked a decline compared to the 2001 Census, where the CSR was 927.

A declining CSR is a matter of concern and reflects gender discrimination and social challenges such as female foeticide and neglect of girl children.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D: 914.
