C. A high TFR corresponds to limited knowledge or understanding of family planning practices or contraception.

A. A high TFR rarely is linked to poverty.

Explanation:

The total fertility rate (TFR) is defined as the average number of children born by a woman in a population over a time period.

There are many factors that are responsible for high TFR such as poverty,  religiosity, and intention to have children. Poverty is not a rare reason of high TFR whereas it is one of the major reasons for high TFR because poverty brings lack of education, technologies, knowledge, and awareness that can control the high TFR. For example: Nigeria, Africa is the most populous country in the world and Ethiopia, Africa is the second most populous country. they both countries have high TFR because of poverty and high maternal mortality.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. A high TFR rarely is linked to poverty."
