The correct answer is A. They require more healthcare, immunization, and check-ups for children.

Explanation:

TFR stands for Total Fertility Rate that refers to the average of children women in a country have during all their lives and that is linked to other factors such as population grew and fertility rates. In general terms, a low TFR has fewer children and young people and more adults and elderly people which leads to issue such as more pension, more care for elderly and lack of workers as many of them retire.

On the other hand a high TFR implies there are more children and young people which leads to a young population this also represent some issues and challenges that do not focus on the elderly but on the young people this includes more healthcare for young people including more immunization such as vaccines and more check-ups for children; also, the country would have to spend more on education. Considering this, it can be concluded one of the reasons that make young populations challenging is that they require more healthcare, immunization, and check-ups for children.
