Answer:

D.It makes claims that seem dishonest and unrealistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

There could be other reasons that made the Russians to be dying like poor medical conditions of their health center, illnesses etc rather than the Czarist system which is a monarchical kind of system practiced in Russia.
