Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The fifth National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) recorded 1,020 females per 1,000 males in the overall population, the first time a national survey found more women than men. The sex ratio at birth for children born in the preceding five years was much lower, at 929. The other figures do not match the NFHS-5 result.
