Answer 1

The statement that is most likely to be false is:

A. A high TFR rarely is linked to poverty.

High Total Fertility Rates (TFR) are commonly associated with poverty, as poorer regions often have less access to education, healthcare, and family planning resources, leading to higher birth rates. Therefore, the notion that a high TFR is rarely linked to poverty contradicts established demographic and socio-economic research.
