Answer:

A)sub-Saharan Africa

Step-by-step explanation:

Life expectancy yields trends that are similar throughout the world. Women live longer than men and it is an indicator that at a global level has not stopped growing in the last decades, although in some underdeveloped countries there have been advances and setbacks. The world population in 1950 was 2,500 million. Today we are more than 7,000 million. This is due to the reduction of infant mortality; but there are still many differences between growing up in Europe or doing it in sub-Saharan Africa. Economic inequality is not alien to life expectancy at birth.

After the Second World War there was a time when the life expectancy of poor countries was close to that of rich countries, but AIDS and other contagious diseases made a dent in Africa, the region most affected in the last two decades of the twentieth century. He missed part of the way he walked.
