63 In a life table for the population of a developing country, the first age interval is from 0–9 years of age. The second age interval is from 10–19 years of age. Whereas the mortality in the first interval is 8%, it is less than 1% in the second interval. This is different than what is expected in developed countries. What could be the reason for this difference?
a) Record-keeping in developing countries is inaccurate, resulting in an artificially high value for mortality rate.
b) Because humans in developing countries follow a type III survivorship curve, this is the expected result.
c) In developing countries the inadequacy of medical facilities, the presence of tropical diseases, and malnutrition contribute to a much higher infant mortality than that observed in developed countries.
d) Because the mortality at an earlier age is high, it is much lower in subsequent age intervals.
