Answer 1

Answer: c.a decrease in women’s wages

Step-by-step explanation:

The fertility can be define as the capability of the organism to produce offsprings. As a measure of the fertility, the fertility rate can be calculated by the number of offsprings born per mating event by a mating pair or by the individual organism.

The pyschological factors such as anxiety, depression and stress all are responsible for reducing and limiting the fertility in humans. A decrease in the women's wage is likely to reduce her fertility this can indirectly affect the involuntary functions of the reproductive system. Thus the reproductive system becomes infertile.
