Taking into consideration that Total Fertility Rates (TRF) are high in areas where numerous families are convenient to carry out essential tasks within the household (like farming), we can conclude that the best answer here is option A. Options C and D are actual reasons as to why Japan's TRF is so low. In relation to option B, while school attendance keeps some relation to the economic mobility, is not that tightly related to TRF.

Therefore, your best answer is option A.
