Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.0 means that, on average, each woman in a population is having one child. Since it takes two people (a man and a woman) to produce one child, a TFR of 1.0 would result in the next generation being half the size of the current generation, assuming no immigration and that the TFR applies uniformly across the population.
