Answer:

B: The economic problem of "problem of premature death" in the U.S. has declined substantially.

This statement about premature death is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pre-mature death means death of the person who is earning in a family and had a family dependent on him or had to pay mortgage. It causes major financial problems in the family as the earnings of the person are lost forever.

The economic problem of "problem of premature death" in the U.S. has declined substantially because there is an increase in 'life expectancy'. Life expectancy is the number of years (average) that are remaining of a person to live at a given age. This has increased because of new medical facilities, rise in income, improvement in public health and improved sanitation facilities.
