For a healthy society, what should be the distribution of males and females in a given population?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Equal number of males and females

Explanation:

Equal number of males and females:

• Equal gender distribution is typically viewed as the most balanced and healthy setup for a society.
• An approximately equal number of males and females supports social stability, diversity in family structures, and balanced representation in all aspects of life (economic, political, etc.).
• Historically, natural sex ratios at birth are slightly skewed in favor of males (around 105 males for every 100 females), but life expectancy is generally higher for females, making the overall gender ratio more equal in the adult population.
