Correct Answer: Access to family planning services
   


Solution : The correct answer is (A) access to family planning services.

Access to family planning services plays a crucial role in reducing maternal mortality. Family planning allows women to space out their pregnancies and choose the number of children they want to have, which can significantly reduce the health risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth. By providing access to contraception and family planning education, women can make informed decisions about their reproductive health, leading to better maternal health outcomes.

Family planning services also contribute to reducing maternal mortality by allowing women to delay their first pregnancy until they are physically and emotionally ready, which reduces the risk of complications in younger girls. Additionally, access to contraception helps prevent unintended pregnancies, which are more likely to result in unsafe abortions or pregnancies with inadequate prenatal care.
