  • B.The number of babies dying before one month per 1000 live births
  • C.The number of children dying between 1 to 4 years of life per 1000 live births
  • D.The number of children dying between 1 to 2 years of life per 1000 live births

Answer: A

Infant mortality rate is the number of babies dying in the first year of life per 1000 live births.

It counts deaths of infants under one year of age in a year for every 1,000 live births in the same year, and is one of the most sensitive indicators of a population's health and living conditions.

Deaths before one month (28 days) per 1,000 live births give the neonatal mortality rate. Deaths between ages 1 and 4 are measured by the child mortality rate, and '1 to 2 years' is not a standard indicator.
