B Correct answer
Explanation

This sentence segment is incorrect because it does not have antecedent agreement. The sentence begins with ‘every woman’ where it is used as a singular noun, thus the pronoun used should also be singular and not plural. The correct sentence segment will be ‘fervently hopes that her child’.
