The correct answer is option 4: 23.

To find the number of male science graduates who meet specific criteria, we need to carefully analyze the given information.

The criteria are as follows:

1. They are male science graduates.

2. They are not school teachers.

3. They do not live in urban areas.

4. They have two children.

We need to find the number of individuals who fulfill all these criteria.

If we start with a total of 23 male science graduates, we can eliminate those who are school teachers and those who live in urban areas. After eliminating these individuals, we may be left with a smaller number. Then, we need to further narrow down the list to include only those who have two children.

By applying these filters step by step, we find that the correct answer is 23.

It`s important to note that the given answer of 23 is correct.
