B and D.

- Monitor and control population growth: yes — medical and public-health technologies (contraceptives, sterilization, family-planning services, reproductive health care, surveillance) enable monitoring and managing fertility and population trends.
- Detect and treat a wide variety of illnesses: yes — diagnostics, imaging, vaccines, antibiotics, surgical techniques, and many other medical advances directly do this.

A (use less energy to power hospitals) is primarily an energy/engineering improvement (though some medical devices are more efficient, that’s not the main purpose of medical technology).
C (prevent pests from destroying food crops) is mainly agricultural/biotech and pest-management technology, not strictly medical technology.
