Under which condition will a high death rate be a warning sign for the administration?

Correct answer: When health care, nutrition and safe water are weak

The direct answer is A. A high death rate, especially when it affects preventable causes, may indicate inadequate health services, poor nutrition, unsafe drinking water, weak sanitation or difficult living conditions. The administration should investigate the causes rather than look only at the number. A is correct because weak health, nutrition and water systems can increase illness and deaths and therefore require public action. B is wrong because a very low death rate is not itself a high-death-rate warning. C concerns people entering an area and does not by itself explain deaths. D concerns births, not the causes of mortality. Death rates can also be influenced by age structure and unusual events, so they should be interpreted with other evidence; however, in this question the listed welfare weaknesses are the clearest warning. Memory cue: high preventable mortality often signals weak basic services.
