Answer 1

The rate that indicates the number of children that would be born per woman if she were to live to the end of her childbearing is known as the fertility rate.

Option: (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

• The term fertility literally refers to the woman’s physiological ability to give birth.
• The number of children that the woman can give birth to is considered to be her fertility rate.
• Currently, the average fertility rate of women all over the world is a little below 2.5 children per woman. This is half the fertility rate that was evident 50 years ago.
