Which of the following is NOT a factor influencing fertility decisions in early adulthood?

• A. Age
• B. Partner status
• C. Sports team preference
• D. Access to contraception

Answer: (C)

Fertility decisions in early adulthood are shaped by biological timing, relationship context, and planning resources. Age matters because fertility changes with time, especially as people get older. Partner status matters because having a partner often influences whether and when to start a family. Access to contraception is a practical tool that directly affects whether pregnancy is planned, delayed, or avoided. A sports team preference, while part of personal interests, does not impact biology, relationship dynamics, or access to birth control, so it does not influence fertility decisions.
