a. israel
b. japan
c. germany
d. washington, d. c.

The correct answer is D) Washington, D.C.

Based on this list, the place where an infant has the smallest chance of surviving to its first birthday is Washington, D.C.

According to the list, the infant mortality rate (deaths per 1,000 live births) of Washington D.C. is 11.30, followed by Mississippi with 10.30. Thus is an elevated number for a powerful developed country such as the United States. We cannot compare the US infrastructure with poor and underdeveloped countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ghana or India, that is why a revision of the public health programs should be a priority for the government.
