The number of women who die as a result of complications from pregnancy or childbearing in a given year per 1,00,000 live births in that year is called ______.
Answer: C
The number of women who die from complications of pregnancy or childbirth in a year per 1,00,000 live births is the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). The word 'Maternal' is the standard one. 'Mother Mortality', 'Motherly Mortality' and 'Maturation Mortality' are not the terms used in health statistics, so the third option is correct. The rate is stated per 1,00,000 live births, whereas the infant mortality rate is stated per 1,000 live births, which is a useful way to tell the two apart.
