927
B.
924
C.
917
D.
914
AnswerAnswer: 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.
