What is the OA ?
In Rubaria, excellent health care is available to virtually the entire population, whereas very few people in Terland receive adequate medical care. Yet, although the death rate for most diseases is higher in Terland than in Rubaria, the percentage of the male population that dies from prostate cancer is significantly higher in Rubaria than in Terland.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disparity between the prostate cancer death rate in Rubaria and Terland?
- Effective treatment of prostate cancer in its early stages generally requires medical techniques available in Rubaria but not in Terland.
- Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.
- Being in poor general health does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
- It is possible to decrease one’s risk of getting prostate cancer by eating certain kinds of foods, and such foods are more readily available in Rubaria than in Terland.
You are expected to post the OA, along with the source of the question AND any specific questions that you have on the answer options.

According to me, answer option B makes more sense than others.
Actually the question is from the Retired Question bank and the solution was not given.
