  • A Date rate is reduced
  • B Marriage is abolished
  • C More hospitals are built
  • D More restraint is adopted
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Positive checks are those, according to Thomas Malthus, that increase the death rate. These include disease, war, disaster, and finally when other checks don't reduce the population, famine. Malthus felt that the fear of famine or the development of famine was also a major impetus to reduce the birth rate.
