Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about a law passed in Maharashtra, India in 1976 to limit family size. The option A) compulsory sterilization law is the most accurate choice. This is because in the mid-1970s, India underwent a period of emergency rule where the government implemented several population control measures including a compulsory sterilization program. Maharashtra was one of the states where this program was heavily implemented. The other options such as one-child-per-family policy or mandatory abortion policy were not implemented in India. While permanent contraception law was introduced in India, it was not a specific law passed by Maharashtra in 1976.
