Answer: A

Let the total number of pregnant women be TT.

From the given data:

  • The number of pregnant women who received medical care at least once is 90%90\% of TT, which is 0.90T0.90 T.
  • Of these women, 60%60\% received medical care from doctors.

Therefore, the number of pregnant women who received medical care at least once from a doctor is:

0.60×0.90T=0.54T0.60 \times 0.90 T = 0.54 T

This represents 54%54\% of the total pregnant women (TT). Since 54%>50%54\% > 50\%, we can conclude with certainty that more than half of the pregnant women received medical care at least once from a doctor.

Thus, Option A is the correct statement.
