Answer:

The correct answer is d. Central African Republic

Step-by-step explanation:

A data from 1990 to 2016 shows that the Central African Republic is the second country after Pakistan where the infant mortality rate is highest. In research it is found that at least half of all the deaths were of children.

33% of death were seen in children who were below the age of five. Most of the deaths in children were seen in the rainy season because of malaria and fever.

The main reason for the higher number of newborns death is the absence of easily available health care and good medical facilities. Therefore the correct answer is d.
