Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Decreasing the death rate of a nation carries with it a healthier population, as people are not dying as quickly whether that be due to greater education, more food, better sanitation or otherwise. A higher birthrate would likely only amount to more restrictions for a nation that it evidently cannot sustain due to its declining population. Essentially; improve the quality of life, not the quantity of it, the more people live, the more children they will eventually have instead of fighting for their lives to survive.
