Which one among the following term refers to number of children an average woman can bear in her reproductive span ?
Answer: B
The number of children an average woman could bear in her reproductive span is fecundity.
Fecundity is the physiological capacity to reproduce, whereas fertility is the actual number of births. The question asks for what a woman can bear and not for what she does bear, so the term is fecundity.
Fertility is wrong because it records actual births. The real birth rate is not a standard term for this idea. The crude death rate measures deaths, so it has nothing to do with the number of children a woman could bear.
