Answer 1

I would say answer A.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, they require more healthcare, immunization, and check-ups for children.

Explanation:

TFR or total fertility rate signifies towards the average of children possessed by women in a nation during their entire lifetime and is associated with other elements like fertility rates and growth of population. The high TFR signifies that there are more young people and children. Thus, with the population comprising more children, there would be a requirement for more healthcare like more immunization and check-ups, and also more spending on education is required.
