Option 'C'

Explanation:

The option 'c' is the correct answer because the rest of the options do not produce the information as accurately as option c does.

The first option only talks about the number of working mothers and does not specifically mention those with young children. The second one also talks about women working outside their homes. The third option clearly paraphrases the source information The last option also does not specifically state the information given in the paragraph.
