Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason for this decrease is an increase in the number of vaccinations of young children. The smallpox vaccine which was created in 1796 completely allows individuals to easily and quickly fight off the smallpox disease if they were to get it. By being able to fight the disease quickly and effectively it provides less time for the disease to affect another individual. Therefore, causing cases to decrease and become very rare as time goes on.
