Question

a highly populated country is concerned about its infant mortality rate. what might the country do in order to lower its infant mortality rate?
a. lower the rates of education
b. encourage the tradition of having large families
c. encourage women to stay at home
d. make health care available to families with children

Explanation:

• Option A: Lowering education rates would likely lead to less - informed parents and a lack of access to knowledge about infant care, which would not lower the infant mortality rate.
• Option B: Encouraging large families might put more strain on resources (such as food, healthcare) for each child, potentially increasing infant mortality.
• Option C: Encouraging women to stay at home does not directly address the medical and resource - related needs of infants.
• Option D: Making healthcare available to families with children can provide necessary medical check - ups, vaccinations, and treatment for infants, which is a key factor in reducing infant mortality.

Answer:

D. Make health care available to families with children
