Answer #1

ANSWER- CORRECT ANSWER IS C

if there are increased number of parental death,there would be less parental care,it would be hard for the offsprings to survive,thus one can say that parents' mortality affects child health and thus indirectly affects the parental care.

the other options are valid, increasing weight of parents and child does not a negative symbol of parental care, and increased offspring survival is an obvious positive response of parental care.

hence, correct option is C
