A Correct answer
Explanation

India's birth rate has consistently declined over decades due to factors like increased urbanization, women's education, family planning programs, and rising incomes. The Crude Birth Rate fell from about 40 per 1000 in the 1970s to around 20 per 1000 currently. The pattern 'fallen, fallen' reflects this continuous downward trajectory over time.
