B. Real differences between the number of children born per woman

D. None of the above

Answer 1

C. Both A and B

The differences observed in TFR between Uganda and South Africa may be due to a combination of age differences in the population and real differences in the number of children born per woman. Age differences in the population can impact TFR as younger populations tend to have higher birth rates. Additionally, there may be cultural, social, economic, and policy differences between the two countries that could also contribute to variations in TFR.
