correct answer is C.This is one of those questions where predicting the correct answer will
facilitate your selecting the appropriate answer choice. Make sure to read each choice carefully (for example, choices D and E, though both incorrect in this case, look almost identical. Choice A refers to the crude mortality rate.
Choice B refers to the postnatal mortality rate.
Choice D is an incorrect rendering of the neonatal mortality rate since it considers the total number of births instead of the total number of live births.
Choice E refers to the neonatal mortality rate.
