Solution

The correct option is D Birth weight and mortality are inversely proportional
A baby's weight at birth is strongly associated with mortality risk during the first year. The lower the weight, the higher a baby's risk of infant mortality. Neonatal mortality increases inversely proportional to birth weight.
So, the correct answer is option D.
