A Correct answer
Explanation

Under ideal conditions, rats can indeed produce over a million descendants in 18 months. A single female rat can produce up to 12 litters per year, with 6-12 pups per litter, and these offspring reach sexual maturity in about 5 weeks. This exponential growth rate makes the statement biologically plausible and accepted as a fact in general knowledge contexts.
