Answer:

c. Lack of economic opportunity for women

Step-by-step explanation:

Women with better economic opportunities, are able to position themselves better in relation to their body and their wills, than women with less economic opportunities. In addition, women with more economic opportunities are more likely to control their reproduction, while poorer women do not always have access to contraceptive methods and end up having more unscheduled children. This statement is common in places with high rates of social inequality, such as in Africa, where the high rate of fertility is directly linked to the lack of economic opportunity for women.
