Solution

The correct option is D To practice and implement family planning
The best way to decrease the population growth rate of a country is to practice and implement family planning as it focuses on reproduction-related areas.
It includes educating people, especially fertile couples and people in marriageable age group, about:

various birth control options available

Prenatal care of mother

Postnatal care of the mother and child

Importance of breast feeding

Equal opportunities for the male and the female child, etc.

All these steps will help to bring up healthy families of desired size.

Having good quality of food and houses will improve the standard of living but will not control the population of a country.
Mass sterilization of people on a large scale is also not a humane way to stabilise the population of a country.
