    The correct option is (D) : High population density, low economic status.

    Now let me explain why!

    This is more of a general question, and, therefore, we can analyse it by looking around us. Causes of death rate could be many, but when we talk about diseases, the following parameters come in our minds:

    1) Hospitals and medical facilities.

    2) Health and hygiene.

    3) Poverty.

    4) Less education.

    If we keep the above-mentioned parameters in our minds, and ask ourselves the following questions:

    1. "Can less access to technology lead to highest death rate?" No! Look at the history when technology was not ingrained in human society. Were they dying because of that? No! Think of the Technology as a tool to approach certain disease (s), but to large extent, it has nothing to do with it.

    2. "Can low economic status be an impetus to the proliferation of death rates?" Absolutely Yes! Suppose you don't have resources, and you are ill. What would you do if your country's/community's economic condition is pitiful as well? You would have no health insurance. You would have little to none medical facilities available.

    3. "Suppose your country's/community's economic condition is miserable, do you think high population density can worsen the situation vis-a-vis death rates?" Indeed! What if some epidemic occurs, and your community has very few health facilities? Surely, unfortunately, people would die because of that.

    In a nutshell, "high population density and low economic status" is the best explanation of highest death rates due to disease.
