A. Life expectancy is low
B. The proportion of women aged 15-49 is high
C. Infant mortality is high
D. The proportion of women aged 15-49 is low
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
GFR denominator is only women 15-49, while CBR uses total population. If this group is a small share of total population (e.g., aging society), GFR > CBR because the same births are divided by a smaller denominator.
