La respuesta correcta es la opción A: "El número más bajo de muertes en el siglo XX fue causado por enfermedades infecciosas."<br /><br />En el siglo XX, hubo un notable avance en la medicina y la salud pública, lo que llevó a una disminución significativa en la mortalidad por enfermedades infecciosas. Esto se debe a que se desarrollaron vacunas, medicamentos y tratamientos efectivos para muchas enfermedades infecciosas, lo que permitió controlar y erradicar muchas de ellas.<br /><br />Las opciones B, C y D no son correctas:<br /><br />B. Las tasas de enfermedades crónicas han aumentado, no disminuido, y la tasa de enfermedades infecciosas ha disminuido.<br /><br />C. En la vejez, las muertes no son causadas por un solo condición identificable, sino por una combinación de factores y condiciones de salud.<br /><br />D. Las tasas de mortalidad no son más altas en hombres que en mujeres para todas las principales causas de muerte.<br /><br />Por lo tanto, la opción A es la respuesta correcta, ya que refleja con precisión la tendencia histórica de disminución de la mortalidad por enfermedades infecciosas en el siglo XX.
