The Couple Protection Rate (CPR) is defined as the percentage of:

• A All couples using any method of family planning
• B Couples with two or more children using family planning
• C Married women aged 15-49 using contraception
• D Eligible couples currently protected by any method of family planning ✓

Explanation

Couple Protection Rate is the percentage of eligible couples currently protected by any family planning method. Eligible couples are those where the wife is in the reproductive age group (15-49 years). Option A is too broad. Option C describes contraceptive prevalence among women, not couples. Option B is too restrictive.
