The period from 1901-1921 is referred to as a period of steady population growth in India.

This statement is not accurate. The period from 1901-1921 in India witnessed relatively slow population growth due to factors like famines, diseases, and socio-economic challenges.

During the decades of 1921-1951, overall improvement in health and sanitation throughout the country brought down the mortality rate.

This statement is generally true. The period from 1921-1951 did see improvements in health and sanitation in various parts of India, which contributed to a decline in mortality rates.

Among all the States and Union Territories of India, only Kerala has a higher number of females per thousand males.

This statement is incorrect. While Kerala has traditionally had a better sex ratio compared to many other states in India, it is not the only state with a higher number of females per thousand males. Several other states also have favorable sex ratios.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct, making option 3 the correct choice.
