Answer - C - Africa has the highest overall fertility rate.

Key Takeaway: The total fertility rate is the average number of children that would be born to a hypothetical woman of child-bearing age (15-49) over her lifetime if she were to experience the exact current age-specific fertility rates through her lifetime, and if she were to survive from birth through the end of her reproductive life. Developed countries usually have much lower fertility rates than under-developed countries due education, social amenities, and access to birth control. Currently, with a high number of less-developed countries, Africa has the highest fertility rate of any continent.
