The correct answer is option A, an asteroid hitting the earth

Reason -

The extinction event of Cretaceous is considered as a mass extinction process in which near about 3/4th of the species on planet earth became extinct. The researches conducted (found in geologic record) to study the cause of this massive extinction event,  revealed presence of  iridium metal on the Earth crust which is a rare metal and is usually found in the asteroids or comets. Thus,  hitting of planet earth by the asteroids or comets can be considered as a cause of this massive extinction.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Answer is B. Ensuring early and adequate prenatal care.

Explanation:

Prenatal care can be described as the care, such as information and medical care , given to pregnant women during pregnancy , before delivery.

This is very important , because it prevents complications during pregnancy, which can lead to maternal mortality, and support the birth of healthy children.

Infant mortality is the death of the child at birth or shortly after, while maternal mortality is the death of pregnant women during pregnancy or shortly after delivery.

Therefore, ensuring early and adequate prenatal care is the best factor that must be put in place to address the issue of maternal mortality and infant mortality rate.

Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. The flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. Cross-pollination happens when the wind or animals move pollen from one plant to fertilize the ovules on a different plant.
