关键是比较对象，我觉得比较对象应该是
由年龄大于30岁的妇女生下的婴儿的数量和
由年龄小于30岁的妇女生下的婴儿的数量的比较
那么it指代什么呢
答案是A

it 指代30 years old. 英语的习惯，经常把表示年龄、时间、距离的短语看成一个整体，即复负数形式，单数对待。

如果这样解释的话,那就成babies和it进行比较了，还是than under it省略的一些成分，这道题的确和以往做过的类似的题目有些不一样

我觉得把这句话不全比较好理解，In 1990’s, there are more babies were born by women over thirty years old than there are babies were born by women under thirty years.  还有一个问题，为什么不用who连接babies?

认为答案应该是A，我认为是women over thirty years old 和(women) under it(指代thirty years old)只不过是第二个women省略了。
E中比较对象就不对等了怎么能n和句子比较呢，要比也应该是than those who were under it.
