  3. The percentage of women who give birth each year
  4. The number of children born to each woman in her lifetime

✓ Answer: BThe number of live births per 1000 of the population per year
Award 1 mark for identifying birth rate as the number of live births per 1000 of the population per year. A is incorrect — this describes total births, not a rate. C is incorrect — this would be a fertility measure specific to women only. D is incorrect — this describes the total fertility rate, not the birth rate.
