- MTP Act, 1971
- Clinical Establishments Act, 2010
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - PCPNDT Act, 1994
Sex determination and sex selection are banned under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994, which was enacted as the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act and given its present title in 2003. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 governs when a pregnancy may be terminated, not prenatal sex determination, and the Clinical Establishments Act, 2010 deals with the registration of clinics generally. Since one listed Act is correct, the catch-all is wrong.
