Since the passage does not provide an exact numerical value, the best answer choice is the one with a range that is most likely to be accurate based on the language used in the text. The passage states that "fewer than 10 women have been executed" and that "female death row populations and execution rates have been consistently low." This suggests that the number of death sentences imposed on women each year is likely to be relatively low as well. Option B, 2 to 8, is the most reasonable range based on the information provided.
