The most accurate response to the impact of the one-child policy in China by the end of the twentieth century would be:

The nation saw many improvements, including economic growth and lower poverty levels in rural areas.

While the one-child policy did lead to a decline in the birth rate and has faced criticism, it is also associated with contributing to economic growth and improvements in living standards for many. The other options do not adequately capture the broader effects of the policy.
