It is a well-documented fact that for all teenage couples who marry, the marriages of those who do not have children in the first year of their marriage survive more than twice as long as the marriages of those teenage couples in which the wife does give birth within the first 12 months of marriage. Therefore, many divorces could be avoided if teenagers who marry were encouraged to seek counseling on birth control as soon after marriage as possible.
The evidence regarding teenage marriages supports the author’s conclusion only if
(A) in those couples to which a child was born within the first 12 months, there is not a significant number in which the wife was pregnant at the time of marriage
(B) the children born during the first year of marriage to those divorcing couples lived with the teenage couple
(C) the child born into such a marriage did not die at birth
(D) society actually has an interest in determining whether or not people should be divorced if there are not children involved
(E) encouraging people to stay married when they do not plan to have any children is a good idea

This must be true. Otherwise they might get married because of the pregnancy. Which clearly would not oppose the authors conclusion.
IMO: A
