Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Males with less than 12 years of education have been shown to have higher rates of health risk behaviors, such as smoking and substance abuse, which can lead to higher mortality rates during middle adulthood. Females with less than 12 years of education also have higher mortality rates compared to those with higher levels of education, but not as high as males in the same situation. Therefore, A is the best choice as it specifically mentions males, who have the highest death rate during this stage of life.
