In India, a Primary Health Center (PHC) is set up for an average population of 30,000 in plain areas, while in hilly and tribal regions, PHCs are established for 20,000 people. PHCs provide basic healthcare services, maternal and child care, vaccinations, and disease prevention programs.

· 10,000: Incorrect; also related to Sub-Center coverage in plain areas.
· 30,000: Correct answer; the average population coverage for a Primary Health Center (PHC).
· 50,000: Incorrect; too high for a PHC; this is more relevant for Community Health Centers (CHC).
