Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Cesarean birth is more likely for the second child if the first child was delivered by Cesarean-section, due to factors like the risk of uterine rupture, the circumstances that necessitated the first Cesarean (many of which may recur), and the policies of many healthcare providers. However, VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is possible and encouraged under the right conditions.
