He told them about the soccer field. There would be picnic tables. There would be a playground. The park would even have basketball courts. But there was no sign of a jogging trail. The mayor thanked the volunteers. Then he asked if they had any suggestions. The volunteers said they wanted to build a jogging trail around the park. They told the mayor how helpful Elena had been and how she wanted a jogging trail. The mayor then said, "A jogging trail won't be hard to build. Let's do it!" Everyone clapped and cheered.

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: China introduced its so-called one-child policy in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth . It's also been against for forcing parents to make difficult personal choices , or in some cases face huge fines . The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although there were some exceptions , for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children. The new rule says that if either parent is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own. One reason for the change is economics . In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single child could not afford to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that. Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights . Question: Which may be the best title of the article? _ . - The one-child policy - The population policy - The human rights - China's population growth
Answer: The population policy
