Answer. D. a, c and d are correct
* Most causes of death reporting systems in developed countries rely on medical certification of the cause of death according to the International Classification of Death (ICD-10) and have achieved near-total coverage.
* Developing countries such as India, where adequate medical facilities are not available, depending on lay reporting of the cause of death in rural areas, using a sample registration system.
* The use of the cause of death statistics in India is questioned given the poor coverage, and poor compliance with guidelines for the cause of death reporting, coding, and classification.
