Solution

The correct option is C Increase
'Mount' means to climb up (stairs, a hill, or other rising surface).
"he mounted the steps"
In this context, "The death toll is believed to mount to 60 after the earthquake", 'mount' means increase or grow. Hence, option D is correct ad the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
