The correct answer is A) The country’s population is aging.

If a country’s Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is measured at 1, this number most likely indicates that the country’s population is aging.

When we are referring to the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), we are talking about an international indicator to measure demography in a country. It considers the average number of babies that a woman would have in her fertility years. If the rate is above 2, it is called replacement level fertility and indicates that the birth rate is going to sustain the number of births. But if the number is 1, then it means that the country has low-level fertility as is the case of most eastern European countries.
