In this question they are comparing women over the age of thirty to whom the babies are born with women under the age of thirty

Age of the women. Usage of it makes this clear. Try searching for an antecedent for it. Maybe then you can appreciate the sentence.

hope i am of some help
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

In this sentence, the word 'it' means 'the age of 30'. If we choose any other option apart from A, the meaning will distort to 'babies born / were under the age of 30', which is senseless.

A it is.
