What is true about teenage pregnancy in the United States?

Answer
A
The teen pregnancy rate is one of the lowest among industrialized nations.
B
The teen birth rate has dropped significantly.
C
In 2015, there were 125 live births per 1,000 teen girls aged 15-19.
D
After 2005, teen births have increased steadily each year.

Explanation

The U.S. teen birth rate has fallen substantially over time, including a marked decline in the years before 2015. The rate in 2015 was about 22 births per 1,000 girls aged 15–19, not 125, and teen births did not increase steadily after 2005. The United States has also had a relatively high teen pregnancy rate compared with other industrialized nations, so B is correct.
