The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include options for this question. So what we can say is the following.

People in the world's forty-eight-poorest countries are 10 times as likely to die from climate-related disasters as people in wealthier countries.

The reason is that these poor countries do not have the money to invest in the right kind of preventive programs and do not have the infrastructure to resists catastrophes such as earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, or heavy storms.

These countries do not have an effective response program to swiftly react in these dangerous situations. another problem is the lack of good hospitals and medical doctors that can attend to the victims of climate disasters.
