GPT-5 mini · Answer

Correct answers: 1 and 2.

- Fundamental human rights were violated: the policy involved forced sterilizations and abortions, heavy fines, and other coercive measures that infringed reproductive and bodily rights.
- The ratio of boys to girls was unbalanced: strong son preference and sex-selective abortion produced a skewed sex ratio with many more males than females.

Why 3 and 4 are wrong:
- Families with more than one child were generally penalized (fines, loss of benefits), not rewarded.
- The state rewarded compliance with the one‑child limit (e.g., some financial or social benefits), but it did not encourage or reward remaining childless.
