Answer: C
The average number of live-born children produced by women of childbearing age is the fertility rate.
It measures actual births, and in its summary form, the total fertility rate, gives the average number of children per woman in a society.
Morbidity and mortality rates concern illness and death. Fecundity is the biological ability to reproduce, which is different from actual births.
A fertility rate counts births, and the total fertility rate gives the average number of children a woman would bear over her lifetime, so it fits the description. Morbidity and mortality concern disease and death, and fecundity is only the capacity to have children.
