The decades ______ are referred to as the period of steady population growth.
1921-1951
India's population history since the first census of 1901 is conventionally split into distinct demographic phases based on the pace of growth.
The decades from 1921 to 1951 are described as the period of steady population growth.
In this phase the death rate began to fall because of improvements in health, sanitation and control of famine and epidemics, while the birth rate stayed high, giving a steady net increase.
The year 1921 is often called the 'demographic divide' or the 'year of the great divide', because after it the population no longer showed the earlier decline and began to rise consistently.
The following span, roughly 1951 to 1981, is instead labelled the period of population explosion, when growth became very rapid.
So among the options, the steady-growth phase corresponds to 1921-1951 rather than the shorter or later ranges given.
Hence the correct answer is 1921-1951.
