Answer and Explanation:

The birth rate refers to the number of babies born in a population during a certain period of time, which is usually one year. On the other hand, the fertility rate refers to the average number of babies born alive for each woman in a region, throughout the reproductive cycle of this woman.

The infant mortality rate is the term that refers to the number of children killed in their first year of life, within a region. While, the mortality rate refers to the average number of deaths in relation to 1,000 inhabitants in a specific region.
