Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Population replacement levels are not met when individuals or couples have fewer children than the replacement level, which is typically considered to be about 2.1 children per woman in developed countries. This is because each generation must be at least as large as the previous one to maintain a stable population size, without accounting for immigration.
