The question is asking for two separate pieces of information. The first blank is asking about the trend of children living apart from their fathers, and the second blank is asking about the odds of parental breakup for cohabiting vs. married couples. According to the data given, from 1960 to 2010, the number of children living apart from their fathers has increased. This eliminates choices A and C. For the second blank, the question states that the odds of parental breakup are higher for couples who are cohabiting when their first child is born compared to those who are married when their first child is born. This means that the odds are "greater than," eliminating choices A and B. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
