None of the above.

Based on available data from international organizations (like World Bank, UNICEF) over the past few decades, India’s Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) has been significantly higher than that of China, the United States of America, and Sri Lanka. While India has made considerable progress in reducing its IMR, the rates in these other countries have been consistently lower. Therefore, the IMR of these countries is not comparable to India’s in terms of being close in value.

Infant Mortality Rate is the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. It is a key indicator of a country’s health status, socioeconomic conditions, and quality of healthcare. Countries like Sri Lanka have historically performed much better than India in terms of social indicators like IMR, despite similar levels of economic development in earlier periods.
