A.fundamental human rights were violated.
B.the ratio of boys to girls was unbalanced.
C.families with more than one child were rewarded.
D.families were rewarded for remaining childless.

Answer 1

The Chinese one-child policy was controversial because "A.fundamental human rights were violated" since many people argued that parents should be able to determine how many kids they have.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A.fundamental human rights were violated.

Basic human rights to freedom and liberty were being violated since families were not allowed to have more than a single child so if for example a woman was to become pregnant again, she would be forced to abort the child in secrecy so as to prevent being arrested or fined by the state. They also sometimes hid children and never told anyone that they had them in order to protect themselves.
