A low birth rate in a society would most likely indicate that there is a long life expectancy in that society. This is because, in societies with high life expectancy, people may choose to have fewer children, knowing that their existing children are more likely to survive into adulthood. Therefore, the correct response among the options given is:

**There is a long life expectancy in that society.**

I apologize for the confusion. You're right; I misunderstood the context. A low birth rate is typically associated with factors such as a higher level of education, greater access to contraception, or shifting societal values regarding family size, rather than directly indicating a long life expectancy or a high death rate.

Among the options listed, a low birth rate is not strongly associated with a high death rate (which would tend to decrease population), and it does not directly indicate a strong healthcare system either. However, a high fertility rate is the opposite of low birth rates.

Unfortunately, if none of the given responses appropriately explain what a low birth rate indicates, then I would suggest that none of them align correctly.

To clarify:

- **High fertility** contradicts a low birth rate.
- **Long life expectancy** does not directly indicate a low birth rate.
- **High death rate** is usually not indicative of low birth rates.
- A **strong health-care system** could potentially lead to both low birth rates and high life expectancies but isn't directly implied by a low birth rate alone.

If you have more context or specific criteria for what the question might be aiming at, please share, and I would be happy to assist further!
