Incorrect statements in the given options:
(i) Birth control pills are likely to cause cardiovascular problems - This statement is partially correct. Birth control pills contain hormones that can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. However, this risk is more significant for women who smoke, are over 35, have high blood pressure, or have a history of blood clots or heart disease.
(ii) A women who substitutes or takes the place of the real mother to nurse the embryo is called surrogate mother - This statement is correct. A surrogate mother is a woman who carries and gives birth to a child for another couple or individual.
(iii) Numerous children have been produced by in vitro fertilisation but with some abnormalities - This statement is incorrect. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) has been used successfully for several decades to help couples conceive children. While there is a slightly higher risk of birth defects with IVF, the overall risk is still relatively low.
(iv) Women play a key role in the continuity of the family and human species - This statement is correct. Women are responsible for carrying and giving birth to children, which is crucial for the continuity of the human species.
(v) Foetal sex determination test should not be banned - This statement is incorrect. Foetal sex determination tests are banned in several countries, including India, due to the practice of sex-selective abortions. These tests can contribute to gender discrimination and imbalance in the population.
Therefore, the correct option is (c) (iii) and (v).
