Answer:
A) Urbanization (or urbanisation) refers to the population shift from rural to urban areas, the decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies adapt to this change.[1] It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.
Answer
B) The fertility rate at a given age (or for an age bracket) is the number of live children born to women of the age in question in the course of the year, as a proportion of the average population of women of the same age over the year.
Explanation:
The one-child policy was part of a program designed to control the size of the rapidly growing population of the People's Republic of China.
