Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
China's family planning program, also known as the one-child policy, was implemented in 1979 and has been successful in reducing population growth. The policy limited most families to having only one child, with some exemptions for rural households, ethnic minorities, and couples where both parents were only children. The policy was relaxed in 2015, allowing couples to have two children, but it is still credited with reducing China's population growth rate.
