Answer 1

The correct response is:

A. marriage at an earlier age.

The post-World War II "baby boom" was significantly influenced by an increase in marriages at younger ages, as many service members returned home and started families. This contributed to the surge in birth rates during that period. While other factors played a role, such as economic prosperity and societal norms, the timing of marriages was a key element.
