Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Ethnicity is related to both life expectancy and cause of death. Studies have shown that individuals from certain ethnic groups have consistently shorter life expectancies and are more likely to die from specific causes such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes compared to other ethnic groups. There are socio-economic and systemic factors that contribute to these disparities, such as access to healthcare, education, and income.
