Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Option C : A is false but R is true.

Assertion A is false because amniocentesis for sex determination is not a part of the Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme. In fact, the use of amniocentesis for the purpose of sex determination is illegal in many countries, including India, due to its association with sex-selective abortions and the societal preference for male children.

Reason R is true because a ban on amniocentesis for sex determination is indeed implemented in an attempt to reduce the incidence of female foeticide. The misuse of this medical procedure for sex-selective abortions has led to a gender imbalance in some societies, thus the need for regulatory measures.
