It is high time that India did something about the population problem. A. auspicious moment B. desired occasion C. appropriate time D. already late

auspicious moment
desired occasion
appropriate time
already late

The correct answer is C. appropriate time.

The phrase “it is high time” means that it is now the right time to do something. In this case, the speaker is saying that it is now the right time for India to do something about the population problem.

Option A, auspicious moment, is incorrect because it means a time that is considered to be especially favorable or fortunate. This does not match the context of the sentence, which is about taking action to solve a problem.

Option B, desired occasion, is incorrect because it means a time that is eagerly awaited or hoped for. This does not match the context of the sentence, which is about taking action to solve a problem.

Option D, already late, is incorrect because it means that it is too late to do something. This does not match the context of the sentence, which is about taking action to solve a problem.
