BThe total number of newborns
CThe number of children that die before the age of ONE YEAR as a proportion of 1,000 live children born in that year
DThe number of children born per year
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The number of children that die before the age of ONE YEAR as a proportion of 1,000 live children born in that year
