Gross Reproduction Rate (GRR) of 1.0 means that, on average, each woman has:
A. One son
B. Two children
C. One child
D. One daughter

Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
GRR counts only female births; GRR=1.0 indicates each woman has exactly one daughter on average, suggesting potential replacement of the female population if mortality is ignored.
