Question

one reason developing countries usually have higher infant mortality rates than developed countries is that a their people have fewer babies. b they have fewer doctors and less access to modern medicine. c their people do not care about the health of babies. d their governments do not allow families to have more than one child.

Explanation:

Developing countries often lack sufficient medical resources. Fewer doctors and less access to modern medicine mean that when babies face health issues, there are fewer medical professionals and advanced medical means to treat them, leading to higher infant mortality rates. Option A is about the number of babies, which is not directly related to mortality. Option C is contrary to the fact as people in developing countries do care about baby health. Option D is also incorrect as there is no such general policy in most developing countries.

Answer:

B. they have fewer doctors and less access to modern medicine.
